He represented the Society with passion and professionalism building our reputation with Scottish Government and key stakeholders as a trusted organisation and authoritative voice on legal and policy matters.

His knowledge, commitment and exuberance earned him the respect of all those he worked with along the way.

On behalf of the Planning law Committee and everyone at the Law Society, I would like to send you and Alastair’s Anderson Strathern colleagues our sincerest condolences."
