MORAY businessman Stephen Scott has joined the board at Elgin City Football Club.
The former commercial property lawyer was born and brought up in Elgin before his studies and work took him to Edinburgh.
Now back in Moray, he owns the Gleaner Oils business in Elgin with his wife Jane.
He told the club's website: “My late father Alex (a well-known chartered surveyor in Elgin) and my uncle Ed, mum’s brother (former editor of the Strathspey & Badenoch Herald), started taking me to Borough Briggs when I was a wee boy.
"Dad bought me my first season ticket in summer 1968 at the tender age of three, going on four.
“As those who know me will attest, I have been hooked on the club ever since.
"Our son Evan said to me when this decision was reached that it would have made grandad very proud, as he was also an Elgin boy through and through.
"I agree, and that means the world to me. I look forward to working with all the great people on the board in furtherance of the ambitions of the club which we all love."
Scott's association with his hometown club led him to form a Gullane supporters' club branch, which has a banner permanently on display at Borough Briggs. He used to stay with his family in the East Lothian coastal town before relocating back to Moray.
Elgin chairman Graham Tatters said: "He's a man with an unbelievable amount of experience in different matters in the business world. He's going to be a real asset to the club."
