In this episode we chat with Malcolm Combe, a senior lecturer in Scots private law at the University of Strathclyde, having arrived there by way of a stint in private practice followed by a position as a lecturer at the University of Aberdeen. 

Malcolm grew up in Renfrewshire with strong Lewis connections; his Mother coming from Point where Malcolm spent family holidays in his younger years. Later on as a law student, Malcolm found himself increasingly drawn to the Western Isles and Lewis in particular, with its deep commitment to community ownership and land reform, just at the time the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 was passed.  Land reform remains one of Malcolm’s principal academic interests and he is one of the few bridges between the world of land reform and crofting law.
