David Glover Email & Phone Number

In 2003 I emigrated from Scotland to North America. I put on my kilt and ran a half-marathon for charity in the torrential rain! The wool got wetter and heavier, the legs got more and more tired, but the cheers kept me going. It was at that point I realized connecting people with Scotland was in my future.I am delighted to announce that I have taken over at the helm of The Scottish Lion. The company has been importing the highest quality Scottish products for over 50 years since 1971. Let's’ be truthful though - it is not just about the products, Scottish Lion is about providing customers with that deep connection to their Scottish and Celtic heritage, and helping them bring a little piece of that heritage home. For the last 15 years, I have managed to balance a busy work schedule and a growing family, while at the same time embracing opportunities that allowed me to commemorate my homeland. I had the joy of being Producer on a documentary about the Battle of Bannockburn and have been a key public speaker through several Burns Clubs and Scottish societies for over 10 years. I established a Scottish tour company, hosting private whisky and cultural tours to Scotland. It has all come full circle now with the acquisition of The Scottish Lion.The growth potential is exciting and the tours have integrated nicely. Check us out at https://scottishlion.com/
