Mr Baillie who joined the firm from Andersons in Kinross, has a wealth of legal experience advising clients on all areas including property, court, commercial and private client work.

Managing partner Ruth Croman said: “We are delighted to welcome Stewart to the Macnabs team. It has been a busy year for our conveyancing department following our partnership with leading residential estate agents Harper & Stone, and also the opening of our new office in Blairgowrie last month. Stewart’s knowledge and enthusiasm will allow us to continue to deliver a first class property service to our clients across Perthshire.”

Mr Baillie said: “It’s great to be joining such an innovative firm who have grown significantly over the years, yet managed to maintain their unique personal approach and down-to-earth style.

“Buying or selling a property is one of the largest transactions most people make in their lives and I am looking forward to working with Macnabs clients and making sure the process is as stress free as possible, whether they are purchasing, selling or leasing a property.”
