LIBERAL DEMOCRATS
Sally first joined the Liberal Democrats as a student when Ming Campbell inspired her at a hustings for the 1997 General Election.
After graduating from St Andrews University with a degree in Modern History and International Relations, Sally enjoyed several careers before bookselling.
These included being an anti-social behavior officer in Plymouth and teaching English at a university in Spain.
In 2012 she returned to Edinburgh to study for a Masters in Publishing at Napier University and went on to work for Scotland’s leading independent publisher, Birlinn Ltd.
Sally took over the day-to-day running of Far From The Madding Crowd bookshop in Linlithgow in 2015.
She started two book festivals, including a free schools festival, as she realised there were no other similar events happening in West Lothian.
In 2017, FFTMC was named Best Independent Bookshop of the Year in Scotland, a testament to their place in the heart of Linlithgow High Street where they act as a hub for the community as much as a busy bookshop.
Sally moved back to West Lothian in 2016 and was instrumental in restarting the West Lothian Liberal Democrat branch.
As convener of the branch, she is responsible for raising awareness of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, their values and how they relate to local issues.
The Liberal Democrats are ready to oppose the hard Brexit Theresa May is bent on imposing and insist that the public should get the chance to have the final say on the deal.
Sally is married and lives with her husband, their dog, a rabbit and a couple of budgies in Linlithgow.
