Martyn Wade	After informally supporting Innerpeffray Governors for a couple of years I became Board member in 2013 having been captivated by this wonderful Library and its special location.  A librarian with over 40 years’ experience, most recently as Chief Executive of the National Library of Scotland, I particularly focus on supporting the practical operations of the Library, cataloguing and funding.  I continue to work with libraries, librarians and heritage bodies nationally and internationally and was awarded an OBE for services to Scottish culture.  It is both rewarding and  a pleasure to work with the Keeper of Books and fellow Governors to support the work and development of the Library of Innerpeffray.
Stewart Donaldson	I became a trustee after being elected as one of the three ward councillors for Strathearn in 2017, and was nominated by Perth and Kinross Council. Prior to that I worked for many years in investment and financial services. One of my roles at the Library is with finance / investment matters. I was also very much involved with the recent review of the Innerpeffray constitution. There I think we struck the right balance between modernity and the historic nature of the Library. I’m also active with outside bodies such as Perth and Kinross Countryside Trust and the Heritage Trust. The first time I came across the Library was when I was brought up in Crieff in the 1970s. For some reason then I never went inside! That’s changed a bit over the last few years! I very much see Innerpeffray not just as a national, but also an international treasure.”

John Jackson	My love of older books grew out of holidays on the Island of Arran from which I began to collect books about the island, and now have over 250 volumes dating from the eighteenth century onwards. When I first came across a leaflet about Innerpeffray Library it became a ‘must visit’ place and has not disappointed. Professionally I have spent most of my working life in the charity sector, first with Tearfund, a Christian development organisation then as Scottish Director of Interserve another overseas Christian agency, and finally in a senior management position with the Church of Scotland. In my retirement I have served on the Boards of three different charities. These commitments have come to an end or lessened now, and so I am able to bring together an absorbing hobby and some appropriate experience to further the development of this most excellent initiative.
Ronald Milne	A librarian by profession, I returned to Perthshire after a wide-ranging career in the UK and overseas. I worked most recently at Yale-NUS College, Singapore’s only liberal arts institution. I came to Southeast Asia via New Zealand, where I held senior positions at the Alexander Turnbull Library, National Library of New Zealand and the New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage. Prior to moving to New Zealand, I had a regular career in research libraries in the UK and worked at a number of institutions with rich documentary heritage collections, including the University of Glasgow, Trinity College Cambridge, the University of Oxford and the British Library. I have a strong interest in the development and active use of library and archival research collections.  During early visits to Innerpeffray, I was struck by the depth of knowledge of staff and volunteers and the willingness to allow visitors to examine individual collection items.  I regard these as very positive attributes.  I believe the Library of Innerpeffray is a very special institution with a remarkable story to tell.  As a Governor, I hope, amongst other things, to contribute what knowledge and expertise I have in managing collections and act as an advocate and ambassador for the Library.
Robin Baxter	While my family’s roots are in Angus, after returning to Scotland from America in 2011, my wife Lucinda and I decided to settle in Perthshire. I am retired from an international career in the Defence and Oil & Gas industries and now devote time to the voluntary sector. When first visiting the library over ten years ago, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. The library has a magical and captivating air to it, fostered, preserved and enhanced by a remarkable team of staff and volunteers. I wish to help secure and strengthen the future of the library for the next 350 years with a continuing emphasis on education. I remain fascinated by history on a local, national and international level. I am a countryman and an unashamed petrolhead.
Sass MacDonald	Born in Fife into a ‘dockyardy’ family, I started my travels to different parts of the country at 8 – my Dad morphed into a Civil Servant, ultimately with the Department of the Environment, but via the old Department of Public Buildings and Works – and I learned from him my love of books and historic buildings. As well as of the beauty of nature. My love of language and languages was nurtured by my Mum and I studied French, Latin and Russian at school and took my Masters in English Language – Old Norse, Old and Middle English included – at the University of St Andrews. My portfolio career is too varied to dwell on, but has given me experience and insights into setting up and running businesses large and small, hospitality, retail and mainly and most recently Higher Education. I was Vice-Principal of a couple of Colleges at Durham University until the end of 2023 and lifelong learning is one of my many passions. Back in Fife permanently now, I spend my time swimming, walking, practising yoga, meditation and Pilates, travelling, working for the Ministry of Justice and a London based property business and writing theatre and book reviews. My ability to develop networks and forge relationships of mutual benefit have served the many organisations I’ve worked in previously well and I hope that both that ability and my boundless enthusiasm for the magical place that is Innerpeffray Library will add something of value to the Board of Governors.
