Bio Notes: William Thomas Simpson, known as 'Bill', was born on 14 November 1942, the son of James Ross Simpson, pattern maker and his wife Sarah Galbraith Wotherspoon. He does not appear to have been a member of the RIBA and details of his training are as yet not known.

He joined the practice of J & W Wittet as an assistant in the early 1970s. In 1973 the practice of J & W Wittet, operated at that time by William Wittet, opened an office opened on the Isle of Skye in the Pier Hotel, Broadford. The following year the office moved to the home of Bill Simpson, at 12 Scullamus and it moved again in 1974 to the Old Post Office Buildings, Broadford. In 1975 Bill Simpson left. He subsequently opened business on his own account, William T Simpson & Partners. Magnus Gunnarsson took over as assistant in charge. He was assumed into partnership two years later.
