Obituary: Professor Gordon McVie, passionate champion of research into cancer


Died: January 20, 2021.
PROFESSOR Gordon McVie, who has died aged 75, was a Scottish clinician and campaigner who became one of the world’s leading authorities on the treatment of cancer and, for many years in the UK, was the public face of the battle against it.
He believed in fighting the disease on many fronts and in taking every new opportunity to do so. He was a clinician first and foremost, but he was also a researcher, campaigner, educator, publicist, and innovator, renowned as a master of the soundbite.
He fought for better treatments, and more money, and as Director General of the Cancer Research Campaign, saw more than 60 new drugs proceed from the lab to clinical trial. Research, he believed, was the key to success and he pushed for many more patients to be involved in trials. ....

From the Apollo archives – Gavin Stamp on the sorry saga of Edinburgh's Royal High School


Edinburgh City Council recently announced plans to reconsider the future use of Thomas Hamilton’s Royal High School on Calton Hill, ending a deal with developers who had pledged in 2009 to find a sustainable purpose for the building. The High School, a masterpiece of the Scottish Greek Revival, has long lain empty; in 2015 plans to transform it into a luxury hotel were widely condemned by heritage groups and the public, and last year
 the Scottish Government rejected a revised proposal. 
The council’s decision has been welcomed by the Royal High School Preservation Trust, which since 2015 has campaigned for the building to become a new home for St Mary’s Music School.
