A New Scottish Face in DC

We’re excited to share that Colin Gray, who was formerly the Deputy Consul General at the British Consulate General in Atlanta, has been appointed Head of the Scottish Government Office in the USA, based in Washington, DC. We’ll be diving into the work of Colin’s office in an upcoming newsletter spotlight article. In the meantime, let’s give a warm welcome to Colin and also take a moment to thank Chris Thomson, the outgoing head of the office.

Chris is pictured below at his farewell reception with GlobalScot Lorraine Bell, one of our Scots in New England external judges. Chris and his wife, Laura, have been deeply involved in many aspects of the Scottish community across the USA and Canada during his time in post. Thank you, Chris, for all your contributions, and we wish you the very best in your new role back in Scotland!
