Prior to his election as an MSP, he was a Fife councillor and employee of Sky Subscriber Services Ltd in Dunfermline.[1] In 2005, Tolson won a case against Sky at an employment tribunal seeking more time off to carry out council duties.[2]
Tolson's seat was abolished in the 2011 Scottish Parliament election and he contested the new Dunfermline constituency but lost to the Scottish National Party's Bill Walker.[3]
