Colin Liddell

Based in Pitlochry, Colin was the first lawyer in Scotland accredited as a specialist in Charity Law. He has established a strong list of charity clients - local, regional and national. He lectures frequently to charities and community groups as well as to professionals and was the only lawyer invited to speak at OSCR’s Launch Conference.

He is a Trustee of a number of charities, including Scottish Community Foundation and Pitlochry Festival Theatre.

Away from charities, Colin walks the hills, writes and lectures about local history (relating to Pitlochry and Wade’s Roads in particular) and commentates at the likes of Pitlochry Highland Games and Stonehaven Harbour Day.
