Dr. McNicol was a nice guy. I met him while working as a computer technician at the dental college. He always had a good sense of humor. I talked to him on occasion, from pharmacology to books on dealing with stomach problems and booklets to look into. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. - Posted by: Carmine Fiorillo (co-worker / friend) on: Dec 19, 2016

Devastated by the awful awful news. Archie is a life long friend of 50 years for whom no words could ever do justice. He will be hugely missed by all his friends back here in Scotland and around the world but my heartfelt thoughts are to Shelley, Ian and Fiona at this time of deep sadness. We shall be holding a small memorial on the banks of Loch Lomond on Saturday in tribute to Archie to coincide with his funeral. - Posted by: Avie Strong (Life Time Friend) on: Dec 16, 2016
