Stuart Borrowman (December 1952 – 24 May 2024) was a Scottish politician who was an independent councillor for the Armadale and Blackridge ward[1][2] from the 2003 West Lothian Council election until his death. Originally elected as a member of the Scottish National Party (SNP) and serving as then-leader John Swinney's Chief of Staff from 2001 to 2002,[3] he defected to Scottish Labour in 2004[4] before becoming an independent.
Borrowman also voted against Scottish independence in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, claiming his old party failed to put together a convincing case, especially over the country's future currency.[5]
Borrowman died from a stroke on 24 May 2024, at the age of 71.[6][7]
