Andrew Graham-Stewart, Bonar Bridge based director of Wildfish Scotland, steps down from the role

Bonar Bridge based Andrew Graham-Stewart has announced he is standing down as a director of WildFish Scotland after almost a decade in the role.

WildFish works to eliminate threats faced by wild fish in fresh and coastal waters with the goal of establishing sustainable populations.

Mr Graham-Stewart is being replaced by Rachel Mulrenan, who was appointed as deputy director last April. She took up the post on January 1.

"Rachel is well qualified with a wealth of campaigning experience," said Mr Graham-Stewart.

"She shares my and WildFish's determination, and aims to ensure, without fear or favour, that wild salmon and sea trout, and the ecosystems in Scotland on which they depend are given the protections they need.

Mr Graham-Stewart will continue to be involved in WildFish Scotland as a consultant and advisor.
