Ones I know of who I can verify their grades are (and are actually based on a permanent basis in Scotland): -
Black Belt
Rick Young (awarded by Mauricio Motta Gomes)
Marcos Nardini (awarded by Amal Easton)
Doug McMaster (awarded by Ricardo De La Riva, not currently in Scotland but will be back)
Scott McVeigh (awarded by Royce Gracie)
Peter Richardson (awarded by Rey Diogo)
John Kennedy (awarded by Rick Young)
Brown Belt
Paul McVeigh (awarded by Roberto Atalla)
Garry Christie (awarded by Doug McMaster)
Jock Love (awarded by Marcos Nardini)
Andy Callaghan (awarded by Marcos Nardini)
Arek Zienkiewicz (awarded by Mariusz Linke)
These are the ones I know of which as per posters request can be easily confirmed as I've either witnessed the event or have reliable sources regarding it.
Scotlands No. 1 Timekeeper also available as a BJJ/No Gi referee

Omar from Ricks is also a brown belt.

Good to see Scott Mcveigh on there... I have not spoke to him in years probably about 03 last time.... He has been with Royce forever!
I didn't know Helen Currie was Scottish, that's cool.
