Welcoming the new senators, the Lord President, Lord Carloway, said: “It is a great pleasure to welcome the five new senators to the Bench. Their distinguished careers and wealth of experience in legal practice make them very welcome additions to the judiciary, and will undoubtedly serve them well as they embark on another stage of their professional lives.

“I wish them all the very best going forward in their new roles.”
