==Career==
Born in London, he graduated from the University of Cambridge and became Director of the Scottish National Buildings Record, then the Assistant Secretary of the National Trust for Scotland.

He was a founder of the Dictionary of Scottish Architects Project,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of the Dictionary of Scottish Architects Project )〕 and was instrumental in setting up the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland.
In the 1970s, he was approached by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner who, having completed the ''The Buildings of England'' series, was keen to extend the project to cover the rest of the UK. McWilliam went on to co-write two volumes in ''The Buildings of Scotland'' series and became the project's editor.
He designed a desk and a bookcase incorporating copies of a portrait medallion of Robert Adam by James Tassie, for the Cabinet Room in Bute House, the official residence of the First Minister of Scotland.
Colin McWilliam is commemorated on a plaque in Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh. He was the father of the author Candia McWilliam.
