The firm said the appointments reflect its commitment to nurturing talent from within and underline the depth of expertise across its residential leadership team in Scotland.

Harry succeeds Jamie Macnab, who has led the Scottish Country House team for 36 years and helped establish Savills as a market leader across Scotland’s prime country house sector. Jamie will now focus on the St Andrews market, where he remains one of Scotland’s most respected and experienced country house specialists.

Having first joined Savills 16 years ago and returning in 2019 following a period in Canada, Harry has worked alongside Jamie for many years and has become a trusted adviser across Scotland’s prime residential markets.

The appointment follows the promotion of Peter Walker to head of residential in Glasgow earlier this year. Peter joined Savills in 2018 and now leads Savills’ residential business across Glasgow and the West of Scotland, overseeing a market stretching from Dumfries to Inverness.

Together, the appointments reflect the depth of expertise within Savills Scottish residential division and the strength of its leadership team across the country.

Cameron Ewer, head of residential for Scotland and the North West of England at Savills, said: “Harry and Peter are outstanding examples of the calibre of people we have across our residential business. They have built deep market knowledge and trusted client relationships over many years, and their appointments enhance our leadership team as we continue to support clients across Scotland.

“Peter’s progression has been a pleasure to watch, having worked alongside him since he joined the Glasgow team. I look forward to continuing that partnership as he leads what I genuinely believe is the strongest residential agency team in the West of Scotland. Together, supported by insights from our market-leading research team, we will continue to provide clients across Scotland with informed, evidence-based advice.”

Harry Maitland, head of Savills Scottish Country House team, said: “It is a real privilege to take on this role and build on the strong foundations already in place. Having spent much of my career at Savills, I am proud to lead such an outstanding group of agents and negotiators, whose expertise, professionalism and commitment to clients make the business such a rewarding place to work.

“Scotland’s country house market continues to offer exciting opportunities, and I look forward to working with colleagues across the country as we continue to provide the highest levels of advice and service for our clients.”

Peter Walker, head of residential in Glasgow at Savills, added: “Having joined Savills in 2018, I am proud to have taken on this role and to lead such a talented team.  The strength of our business has always been the quality of our people and their deep knowledge of the markets in which they operate.  With my team, I look forward to continuing to deliver market-leading advice across Glasgow and the West of Scotland.”
