Ewan hails from Lossiemouth in North East Scotland and graduated from the University of Aberdeen "a while ago now". An accountant by trade, Ewan has spent his career abroad working in Belgium, USA, Australia, Saudi Arabia and England, before moving to Doha in 2012. Ewan is married to EK, a Kiwi, has three bairns, with the oldest now at Glasgow Uni. After supporting the committee for a number of years, he is happy to be stepping up to serve as your Chieftain.

Peter Gibson is from Nairn in the Highlands of Scotland and has lived and worked in China, Saudi Arabia & Qatar and has been in Doha for 15 years spread over the last two decades. His wife Raelene is from Nova Scotia, Canada and is fond of saying “he’s Scottish and I’m Nottish”. Peter has been entertaining expats in Qatar as the frontman of The Exiles (in his kilt!) since 2007 although his very first gig in Doha was as part of the entertainment for Burns Night in 2006 for the then named Caledonian Society. Peter has been entertained at many of the Scots in Qatar ceilidhs since, so he feels it very fitting to join the Scots in Qatar Committee as the Entertainment Secretary.

Karen hails from Thurso in the far North of Scotland, which is the most northernly town on the British mainland, and has lived and worked in Azerbaijan, UAE and Qatar over the last 20 years. Karen has lived in Doha for 2 and a half years working in the Oil and Gas industry and has just recently joined the Scots in Qatar Committee as Treasurer.

From sunny St Andrews, Holly is responsible for keeping all the 'Scots in Qatar' up to date with our annual events.
