2333 Jamie Stone
Constituency : Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross 2017- ?
The 2017 election came round while the party was still licking its wounds although there were hopes Brexit might accelerate the party's recovery. As leader Tim Farron become embroiled in controversy over his views on gay sex and generally failed to impress the public, the party concentrated on trying to increase its seat total rather than fight on a broad front. In a modest way, the strategy worked with the party making 4 net gains and bringing some fresh faces into Parliament.
Jamie recaptured Cathness from the SNP. Jamie was educated at Gordonstoun and the University of St Andrews. He worked in fishing and the oil industry.He became a Highland councillor in 1995. He was elected MSP for the seat in 1999 and spoke on Housing and Health. He stood down in 2011 and became a councillor once more the following year. He decided to stand for the Scottish Parliament again in 2016 but came second.
Jamie became spokesman on Scotland but a few months later was moved to Armed Forces spokesman as a former member of the Territorial Army..
Jamie is a keen gardener, He is also a former pantomine dame.
He is now 65.
