Julia Scott
Julia works in our accounts team and is an integral member of our team assisting Karen with the running of our cashroom.
She has worked for Blackwood & Smith since 2009 and gained her Scottish Law Accountant qualification in 2014.
Julia was born and raised in Peebles, attending Kingsland Primary School and Peebles High school. She still lives locally with her husband and daughters. Julia’s favourite thing about living in Peebles is the beautiful scenery; she loves being outside and up in the hills, whether that is on her horse or walking her dogs. She can’t imagine wanting to live anywhere else.
Outside of work Julia spends most of her free time riding her two horses Luna and Fletcher, and walking her two dogs Harvey and Stella. Julia is the treasurer for the Peebles March Riders Association who organise rideouts and horse events throughout the year.
Julia’s favourite thing about her job is busy house settlement days, she enjoys finalising the transactions and seeing clients getting the keys for their new homes!
Julia loves puzzles, playing cards, board games, jigsaws, crosswords or even suduko! This is helpful for her work as sometimes balancing an account can be just like completing a puzzle.
Julia’s three favourite things are: sunshine, good health and happiness.
