Angus joined the SLE board in the spring of 2024.
Following service in the Scots Guards he qualified as a Chartered Surveyor and in 1980 opened an office in Edinburgh for Langley-Taylor, an old established firm in general practice with offices in Gray’s Inn, London. The Scotland office is now based at his home in Kinross-shire.
Alongside professional life he farms in partnership with his son, Henry, in Fife and Kinross-shire where the family have been resident landowners for generations. More recently he has taken a great interest in organic and regenerative farming and bears some responsibility, in the background in his capacity as a Trustee for the Strathtyrum Trust, for the establishment of Balgove Larder, an acclaimed farm shop, butchery and cafe near St Andrews.
Angus was born and brought up to a great extent in the Isle of Mull where both sides of his family have owned property since the mid-19th century. He is a past Senior Steward of the Argyllshire Gathering and maintains a wide connection generally on the West Coast. More recently he has been Chairman of the Mull Deer Management Group.
