Early Career
After having been a pupil at the High School of Glasgow, Taylor was a journalist on the Glasgow Herald and a Glasgow City Councillor from 1960. He first entered Parliament in the 1964 election as MP for Glasgow Cathcart, at the time being the youngest MP. He became a Scottish Office minister in Edward Heath's government. He resigned from this position in protest at the British signup to the EEC. Thanks to his strong personal following he held onto what was a working-class constituency in Cathcart, one of only two Conservative seats in Glasgow in the 1970s.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or career:
“On the Coast of Coromandel
Where the early pumpkins blow,
In the middle of the woods
Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.
Two old chairs, and half a candle,—
One old jug without a handle,—
These were all his worldly goods:
In the middle of the woods,”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
