Ian Welsh
Ian McWilliam Welsh (born 23 November 1953) is a Scottish politician who currently works as Chief Executive of Long Term Conditions Alliance Scotland. After a brief career as a professional footballer, he was an English teacher and became a local councillor – serving twice as a council Leader. He was very narrowly elected as a Labour Member of the Scottish Parliament in 1999 but resigned at the end of the year, disillusioned at his failure to achieve office and having decided that he was uncomfortable with the mode of politics.
