On Monday 19 May, the Society hosted a special Reception for Her Grace The Right Hon. Lady Elish Angiolini LT KC, Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and her official entourage. Jim Cormack KC WS, Deputy Keeper of the Signet, gave an address praising Lady Angiolini for her outstanding career and her many ‘firsts’ in the legal profession and beyond.
The theme of the event was ‘Law and History’ both of which are core to the life of the WS Society. We were honoured to host faith representatives, prison chaplains, law school faculty, historians, and museum curators. Among the guests were Fellow of the Society, Sir Alexander McCall Smith and Lady McCall Smith, Sheriff Principal Nigel Ross, and Lord Advocate The Right Hon. Dorothy Bain KC.
