Scott has 20 years’ experience at the very top of the Scottish media and is co-founder of the award-winning Holyrood Partnership. His media credentials are matched by his acumen in business and he has successfully launched ventures in photography, video and online content. Most recently he has earned a reputation as a new media pioneer. However, his early career was spent as an award winning journalist and he went on to hold senior posts at newspapers, including the Daily Record.
In a career spanning more than 20 years, Raymond has operated as a PR professional with some of the biggest names in business and as a journalist with the most respected newspapers.

Andrea moved into PR after working for an Edinburgh-based press agency and now is servicing accounts for a variety of clients with the Holyrood team. Before gaining valuable journalistic experience within the press agency, she worked for a top local newspaper just outside Edinburgh straight after graduating from the Centre for Journalism Studies in Glasgow. She has previously written for a wide range of national and regional publications including The Sun, Daily Mail, The Herald and The Scottish Times.
After graduating in English Literature from Edinburgh University, Laura completed a post graduate MSc in Public Relations. Her academic expertise in social media and reputation management is now being deployed on a daily basis for the benefit of clients in consumer, hospitality and health and well-being sectors. Even before joining Holyrood Partnership she was cutting her teeth providing social media PR for a busy pub chain and a student-based charity.
