Biographical history
The Don family were involved in the textile trade in Angus from the eighteenth century. By the nineteenth century many of the family were involved in the family firm which eventually became Don Bros. Buist, and Co and later Don and Low PLC. Among them was John Don a great leader of the company in the Victorian period. The Hill and Robertson families were offshoots of the Don family. One of John Don's daughters, Mary Anne Don, married Michael Hill a merchant from Hull. Their son Lionel was appointed a Director of Don Bros., Buist and Co. in 1922. Another member of the family Evelyn Campbell Don married L.F. Robertson.
