Graeme lives in Balerno with his family and has been involved in numerous local organisations such as the Balerno Children’s Gala where he was Vice President and President.

Following on from the Gala committee he then cycled 500 miles from Balerno High School to Paris, raising £2,500 to buy a Smartboard for an English classroom. He also cycled 1,000 miles in 12 days around all 42 Scottish football clubs to help raise money for a 2G pitch at Balerno High School.

Graeme said: “My wife was born and brought up in Juniper Green and we have subsequently lived in Currie and Balerno for some 40 and 26 years respectively. We have raised our three children here and this is our community."

"Having worked in the ICT sector as a Systems Analyst for nearly 30 years, both public and private sectors, it has always been about solving problems. I hope to utilise these skills along with my passion for helping people to make a positive difference in people’s lives as a Councillor for this ward."
