Born in the
late 1700s the first John Dickson was apprenticed as a gunmaker
in Edinburgh in 1806, founding his own company in 1820 - a company
which continued to be family run until 1936. In the late 1960s,
Dicksons acquired control of many other famous Scottish gunmakers
including Mortimer (founded in 1740) and the Henry Rifle Company.
Angling interests were extended too with the acquisition of
Alex Martin.
In 1999 the owners of James MacNaughton bought the shareholding
of John Dickson & Son Ltd and formed the company trading
under the name of Dickson & MacNaughton. In so doing many
of the most famous names in Scottish Gunmaking were brought
together under one roof, these are:
John Dickson & Son
| James MacNaughton
| Dan'l Fraser
| Alex Martin |
Alex Henry | Thomas
Mortimer |
