Charles Dundas was a councillor in Edinburgh between 2007 and 2012, and is now the Chief Executive of a Scottish conservation charity.

He is CEO of Borders Forest Trust. Originally from West Lothian, and a graduate in History from the University of Glasgow, he has since worked in banking, research, campaigning and lobbying.

Mr Dundas said: “I think I’ve proven myself over the years as a campaigner, and an elected representative in the past to be a strong voice for the people I represent. So in Edinburgh, East and Musselburgh, the big issues I’m hearing about on the doorsteps this time round are about the health service. Access to GPs is incredibly important too.

“it’s a time for change. The Liberal Democrats are standing to offer people a fair deal. For too many years now. We’ve been shortchanged in terms of the health service in terms of housing, and it’s time for that to change and get the priorities right for the country.”
