I am a dedicated local voice standing as a candidate in the 2026 Holyrood elections, bringing over 40 years of life and experience in North Angus and the Mearns.

Full statement

Deeply rooted in the community, I understand the challenges and opportunities facing local residents and am committed to ensuring your voices are heard. I am also the mother of two children who had the privilege of growing up in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland, a place I am proud to call home.

I live on a small croft where I keep horses, as well as a number of rescue cats and dogs, reflecting my strong commitment to animal welfare and rural life. I am passionate about protecting our rich heritage and countryside, and I believe progress should never come at the cost of what makes North Angus and the Mearns special. I am determined to stand up for what people really want, and to speak up for our young people, ensuring they have a secure and promising future.
