Born in 1946 and brought up in Cupar, Fife, I was educated at the local school - 
During the course of the tour, Mr Stevenson will also carry out his 1,000th surgery, which will take place in the village of Fordyce, confirming his position as one of the most accessible MSPs in the country.This year will be the sixteenth such tour that Mr Stevenson has undertaken, covering 37 communities from Rothiemay in the far west to Boddam at the south-eastern end of the constituency and inland to Aberchirder, New Byth and Memsie.
Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:
"The annual surgery tour with my mobile office is always extremely enjoyable and I think also that people appreciate having their MSP come to their own community rather than having to go to one of my 'static' surgeries in a nearby town or village.
“I’m also very pleased to be reaching a major milestone during this tour in holding my 1,000th surgery since becoming an MSP.
"Even in this age of electronic communications, people still value being able to have face-to-face contact with their elected representatives, which is important. It also gets me into some of our smaller communities which I may otherwise not have reason to visit during the course of a year, although to be fair, there aren’t that many places that I don’t pop up in quite regularly.”
