The Lands Tribunal for Scotland (LTS) has announced the appointment of Charles Craigie Marwick BSc (Hons) FRICS as its new surveyor member in succession to the late Douglas Gillespie.

Mr Marwick joins the Tribunal on a part-time basis from GVA surveyors where, as a senior director, he headed up the firm’s Glasgow and Edinburgh valuation teams.

Prior to that he had experience in rating with the Lothian Regional Assessor’s Office from 1983 to 1989, leaving as a senior valuer to enter private practice with Donaldsons.

In addition to being a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) he is an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.

Welcoming Mr Marwick, LTS President Lord Minginish said: “Craigie was appointed from a very strong field of candidates and he brings to the Tribunal a wealth of experience across the fields of valuation, compulsory purchase and rating. He has all the hallmarks of being a worthy successor to the late Douglas Gillespie and my colleagues and I very much look forward to working with him in the years ahead.”

Mr Marwick takes up his post on 3 January 2018.
