- Martin Keatings – Independent Candidate
- Bruce Henderson – Renew Scotland
- Kathleen Leslie – Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party
- Julie MacDougall – Scottish Labour Party
- Alan Beal – Scottish Liberal Democrats
- David Torrance – Scottish National Party
The event was chaired by one of our volunteers, Sarah-Jayne Duncan. FCE would like to thank all candidates and audience members for taking part and sharing their thoughts on the we topics discussed.
