	Fergus Muirhead – Chair Fergus Muirhead has years of experience helping people manage their money, both as a professionally qualified Certified Financial Planner and as a regular writer and broadcaster across a wide range of programmes, magazines and newspapers. He can be seen regularly on BBC Scotland’s flagship News Programme Reporting Scotland and heard on the John Beattie Show advising viewers and listeners on money and consumer issues. Fergus has played the bagpipes all over the world. He has played with the Chieftains at the London Palladium and with Carlos Nunez in Dublin, Barcelona and Vigo, and has recorded with Scottish folk bands Molindinar and Ceolbeg as well as with the Chieftains and Carols Nunez.

	Craig Turnbull – Secretary Craig Turnbull learned the pipes in the Boys' Brigade and played competitively until the early 90's when his day job started to get in the way. A pupil of the late Duncan Johnstone, the highlight of his (singularly unsuccessful) solo career was a second place in the hornpipe and jig at the Ashbourne Highland Games in 1992 – playing two of his own compositions. His composing career is marginally more successful – two of his tunes being published in Ryan Canning's "The Full Monty" collection. Craig first met Dougie Pincock when they both played in the Grade One City of Glasgow Pipes & Drums. Married with two children, Craig lives in Glasgow and is presently the managing partner of one of Scotland's leading commercial law firms.

Having been Treasurer of Feis Chataibh for around 10 years, served on the Board of Fèisean nan Gaidheal and overseen various projects in Traditional Music, he brings considerable experience to the Trust. Ken is also a parent of a former pupil of Plockton Music School.
