The Reporter took the opportunity of meeting up with Ian Murray MP for Edinburgh South at his usual place of business in Westminster. Ian is a young energetic MP and when we met he had just returned from The Falklands, after a gruelling schedule of meetings there over six days. He looked as fresh as a daisy!
Murray has represented Edinburgh South since last year. Brought up in Wester Hailes, Ian went to Dumbryden primary school, then Wester Hailes Education Centre. He then enrolled at Edinburgh University at the age of 16. He supported his studies with part-time job in a local fish & chip shop, where he then set up and ran a pizza delivery service. Ian studied Social Policy and Law and graduated with an Honours degree at the age of 20. He went on to work at the Royal Blind Asylum and then in pensions management after graduating.
We met him just as he was about to go back to Edinburgh as usual on a Thursday evening.
