Stuart Borrowman

Stuart Borrowman (December 1952 – 24 May 2024) was a Scottish politician who was an independent councillor for the Armadale and Blackridge ward from the 2003 West Lothian Council election until his death. Originally elected as a member of the Scottish National Party (SNP) and serving as then-leader John Swinney's Chief of Staff from 2001 to 2002, he defected to Scottish Labour in 2004 before becoming an independent.

Borrowman also voted against Scottish independence in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, claiming his old party failed to put together a convincing case, especially over the country's future currency.

Borrowman died from a stroke on 24 May 2024, at the age of 71.
