Perth law firm is new corporate patron at Black Watch Museum

The firm, which operates a land and rural business practice from its Perth office, is already making the most of the new relationship by hosting a number of client events within the unique surroundings of the home of Scotland’s premier highland regiment.

A seminar on succession and inheritance issues and a wine tasting were the first in the calendar.

For Gillespie Macandrew, becoming a patron helps to ensure that the Black Watch’s “proud military history” is supported, promoted and protected in the local community.

Anne Kinnes, CEO of the Black Watch Museum and Castle, added: “Our Corporate Patron Programme supports the delivery of our learning and outreach programme as well as conserving, protecting and displaying the unique collection at the Castle and Museum. We are delighted Gillespie Macandrew recognise our contribution to the community and have committed to supporting us to share the inspirational values of The Black Watch, Scotland’s Premier Highland Regiment.”
