	Guardian \| Lord Gray of Contin
		Hamish Gray, latterly Lord Gray of Contin, who has died aged 78, was a genial, progressive Scottish Conservative, loyal to party and principle.

		Born in Inverness, the son of a roofing contractor, Gray was educated at Inverness Royal Academy.

	Lord Gray Of Contin - Independent Online Edition > Obituaries
		Hamish Gray, albeit he never reached cabinet rank, was one of the most significant ministers in Margaret Thatcher's government between 1979 and 1983, on account of the fact that he held the portfolio of Minister of Energy responsible for the North Sea oil industry.
		Hamish Gray was brave as a politician in resisting the ethos at the beginning of the Thatcher era in surrendering British interests on relatively cheap terms to the multinational oil companies.
		Hamish Gray was as straight as a die and for that reason enjoyed considerable personal popularity among the Scottish group of Labour MPs.

	Lord Gray of Contin \| Obituaries \| News \| Telegraph
		Gray's subsequent elevation to the House of Lords enabled him to continue as a minister of state at the Scottish Office, where he served until 1986 when he was ousted in a cabinet reshuffle.
		The son of the owner of an Inverness roofing firm, James Hector Northey Gray was born on June 28 1927 and educated at Inverness Royal Academy.
		Appointed minister of state at the Department of Energy in 1979 under David Howell, Gray was widely assumed to have been chosen because it was important to have a Scottish minister in a department dealing with North Sea oil and gas.

	TAC 6: The Truth About Hamishes
		It remains only to point out that had this particular Hamish been born outwith Scotland, he would have been named James Brown, would have been known the world over as The Godfather of Soul, and would have wasted several walking years festering in jail for all manner of low-life convictions.
		As it is, the only festering known to Oor Hamish is the kind done in bothies, his convictions are all noble, upstanding ones, and he associates the word "gaiters" with gentle Ochil strolls rather than with the 'gators of the Georgia swamplands.
		The latter's omnipresence in all of Hamish No.2's recent enterprises, along with his insistence on pompous set-pieces such as pipers atop the Cioch and his persistence in publishing out-of-focus picturebooks therefore tends to colour one's original perception of his achievements.

		However in 1970 the seat was gained by Conservative Hamish Gray who later became Minister of State for Energy in Mrs Thatcher's government.
		This enabled Lord Gray to continue his previous functions as a Minister, happily circumventing what Mrs Thatcher no doubt considered to be the deplorable inconvenience of democratic elections and more attempts by the dastardly Scots to sabotage her plans for the good government of her northern colony.
		Donnie Munro stood again in the Scottish Parliamentary elections and although he reduced the Lib Dem majority to 1,539, his own vote actually fell slightly and the closeness of the result was due to a 5.8 % drop in the Lib Dem vote.
