John Gray Wilson QC (10 October 1915 – 28 September 1968) was a Scottish advocate, writer and Liberal Party politician.
In the long vacation of 1936 he contracted polio, which left him with a weakened leg and chest, and contributed to his early death.
In 1943 he married Nan MacAuslan, herself active in the liberal Party and later awarded a PhD by the University of Edinburgh for a Thesis on the Social Anthropology of the Faculty of Advocates.
He belonged to The Scottish Arts Club, where he was flattered to be known as 'the Shirra' (a colloquial Scots form of 'Sheriff'), as one of his admired writers, Sir Walter Scott, Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire, had been before him.
He was also interested in drama, taking part in various performances until late in his life, and directing several, including the domestic pantomimes he wrote for the Harpic Players (because they were 'clean round the bend'), a group of friends and neighbours.
