Richard McLeod

I am married with two daughters, both now at University. I have lived in Balerno for 17 years after moving here from Oxford via a short sojourn in the Midlands.

I have a passion for the local community and am an Explorer Scout leader with Wildfire Explorers in the village. I am keen on many outdoor pursuits including hill walking, sailing, kayaking and cycling. I am a member of St Mungo’s church in the village and a director of Harlaw Hydro.

Finally I should probably mention that I work for the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) as a specialist in the management of radioactive waste.
