At the time of writing this edition the Scottish referendum is looming and it seems too close to call on the Yes or No vote for Scottish independence. However, we can report back on the success of client Sarah Gray who narrowly missed out on a bronze medal in the women’s Skeet competition in the Commonwealth Games recently held in Glasgow. Well done Sarah!
