Lindsay Peden

Lindsay first shot at Bisley almost 50 years ago in the Ashburton as a cadet with the Glasgow Academy CCF, and since then has shot more than a few times for Scottish and GB teams (including GB Veterans!). This trip will be his first as Captain of a GB team and he hopes that he will be able to unify those from all four home countries as previous successes, as Captain of Scotland, resulted in vanquishing three of them.

He is no stranger to the USA, having lived there for 3 years in the early 90’s in Florida, Louisiana and California, and his daughter was born in New Orleans. Since leaving Louisiana in 1994, he returned a few times on business to Houston, Dallas and Alaska (a bit of a giveaway to his former line of work) before retirement in 2008. Retirement has not led to a slackening of pace of life, however, as he has taken over responsibility as Coach for the Scottish Elite High-Power Squad, resulting in shooting trips to South Africa, Australia, Canada and, most recently, several times in the US. This will be his ninth shooting trip to Canada and eleventh to the USA.

Other time consuming activities include playing Bridge, travelling and gardening (the latter a somewhat enforced pleasure!).
