The Duke of Buccleuch has said that James Galbraith has accepted an invitation to join the Buccleuch board of directors as a non-executive director.
Mr Galbraith was chairman of Galbraith, formerly CKD Galbraith, from its inception in 2003 until 2014. He was brought up near the Buccleuch family home at Bowhill where his father was, for many years, the senior estate factor.
Mr Galbraith said: “I was a mud student in the early 1970s working for Buccleuch on their in-hand farm at Bowhill. It provided me with invaluable experience on which I was able to develop my career.” The Duke said: “I am absolutely delighted that our two families will be linked together once more in looking after Buccleuch.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
