New director joins Fort William surveyors firm

Fort William-based rural surveyors and consultants,

Davidson & Robertson

(D&R) has strengthened its team with the senior appointment of Graeme Ferguson, above, as director within their rural and agency department.

Graeme joins D&R with more than 20 years’ experience as a chartered surveyor and has a strong background in rural and commercial property. A RICS Registered Valuer, he has worked in the Highlands for over 20 years and has acted for private clients, corporate and multi-national companies, government bodies, and community groups.

Graeme, previously a partner at Bidwells, has vast experience in a wide range of rural property matters – from estate management, sales, valuations, utility management, planning and community engagement to diversification projects.

Key projects he has been involved with include the management of the £16 million redevelopment of the Kingshouse Hotel in Glencoe. Graeme has also supported the community-owned Isle of Gigha and negotiates compensation for clients affected by the 275kV Crossaig to Inveraray overhead transmission line.

Based in Fort William, Graeme’s work with Davidson & Robertson takes him the length and breadth of Scotland, but is predominantly centred in Argyll, Perthshire, Inverness-shire and Caithness.

On his appointment, Graeme said “Davidson and Robertson are a well-respected business and I’m already enjoying being part of the team. There is a huge amount of work with major infrastructure upgrades for electricity transmission and distribution in Argyll, and across the Western Highlands. We are representing clients whose land holdings and tenancies are significantly affected by the works which will take a number of years.”
