Thomson was born in Crieff, Perthshire, receiving his early education at Morrison's Academy, then at the Edinburgh School of Art. Endowed with a Carnegie Travelling Scholarship, he was able to tour Europe, eventually training for some time at the Académie Julian in Paris. While abroad, he began to develop an interest in animals and he is known to have worked at local zoos in order to study and draw them from life. When he returned to Scotland, he continued this passion by teaching animal drawing and painting at the Edinburgh College of Art. Gaining a reputation as an accomplished animal painter in his own right, during this time he also illustrated a number of children's books with his wife Ellen.
