Lewis Macdonald MSP
Lewis Macdonald MSP Lewis has represented Aberdeen Central - the heart of Scotland's third city - since 1999.

Lewis has worked in the areas of research, education and representation in the city for most of the last thirty years; his wife, Sandra, works in the oil industry, one daughter attends a Scottish University and the other is at school in Aberdeen. His responsibilities as a Minister included health, transport, planning, enterprise, energy, lifelong learning, environment, health, community care and rural development.
