External Interests
I was been involved in the sport of Rugby Union for over 45 years. I coached and
refereed, and retired from playing in 2007. I also managed my rugby club’s 2nd

XVs. I hold several coaching and refereeing certificates and am a past member of the
West of Scotland Rugby Referees’ Society. Presently, I am working to introduce
women’s rugby to the area. I was an administrator for my club’s website, writing
match reports for the site and for the local press. I enjoy walking and I am a member
of the National Trust for Scotland and The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. I
am also a keen reader, a music lover and dabble in creative writing. When I have the
time, I indulge in fly fishing. My most recent venture has been into the world of aerial
photography, having purchased a camera drone.
