Arthur is joining from Blackadders Wealth Management in Dundee where he was director of financial planning and worked for more than five and a half years, the firm said in a statement.

The news of his appointment follows David Rankin joining Evelyn Partners earlier this year as managing partner with responsibility for its Edinburgh and Aberdeen offices. Welcoming Arthur to the firm, Rankin said: “We are committed to growing the strength of the team in the region and Duncan brings with him a high level of experience, which will add to the quality team we already have in place.”
