I came across a note about this firm of solicitors, though I don't know if there's a family link.
The WW I casualty James Keay was a solicitor in Edinburgh. More info on David Keay, the solicitor in Edinburgh from various Edinburgh Gazette articles - the earliest being 1855 when David Keay is described as a writer in Perth, but then as a solicitor from 1858 until 1879.
His offices were at 37, George St., Perth.
In the year 1906 the firm developed an idea about a Berry-pickers Tin City - described in this article - which I thought was interesting!
Whilst rootling on that site I also found a reference to Robert Keay the Silversmiths - I have seen other references to these gents (Uncle & Nephew), but again - no idea if there's a family link. They worked in Perth up till around 1865.
Edinburgh gazette article here from 1856 about the death of Robert Keay Jr, jeweller.
You may know of a current Keay silversmith who has a workshop in Scotland. And while we are looking at the arts, what about Cath Keay?...(see pages here, and here), or Claire Keay ...(here).
Also on Dyers in Perth - this one is about Pullar's Works, 1917.
Finally, an article on the history of trams in Perth.
