Life outside work

I am a keen outdoor swimmer and also enjoy rock climbing, hill walking, snowboarding, canoeing and most activities that get me out in the amazing Scottish countryside with my family and friends.

My favourite thing

A chilly winter sea swim on a clear sunny day, followed by a hot drink and a tasty treat, and relaxing on the beach with family.
