About us

Overview

The Tartan LUG is a Scottish group of Adult Fans of LEGO® (AFOLs). We are a very active community who organise public shows, exhibitions, kids’ clubs and AFOL meet-ups. Our members are interested in all aspects of LEGO®. We love to build, collect, show and talk about those beautiful bricks.

Origins

The Tartan LUG has no definite start date as most members have been LEGO® fans their whole life. The members have been meeting together for years to discuss LEGO®. The LUG had its first official organized meet up in December 2014 and its first public show in July 2015.

Community

Our members love to share their builds, ideas and suggestions. Most of the community discussion happens in our closed Facebook group (Tartan LUG Fan Zone), and members-only discussions take place in our Discord.

Committee members

As of May 2026, the following committee members were elected:

Peter Douglas

CHAIR

I’ve been a member of Tartan LUG for 9 years and am so proud of what we achieve as a community. I enjoy volunteering at Lego shows. My favourite LEGO theme is easily Classic Space, having originally collected it when I was a kid. That said, current modern sets I love include Rivendell, Nintendo Gameboy and The Great Wave.

Charli Dobie

SECRETARY

Not much more to say other than I like myself a good bit of LEGO®. Whether it be my growing army of brickheadz or the random little accessories to collect.
My favourite brickheadz is my own scaled-up Big Betty Brickhead.

Kate Stevenson

TREASURER

I'm all about the dragons when it comes to LEGO. I can get lost for hours building them then displaying them in the house and at shows. I love the structure of a set over M.O.Cs.

Karen Grayburn

LUG AMBASSADOR


As an AFOL and certified facilitator of the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® methods and materials, I use LEGO bricks to design and facilitate change management, strategic thinking and professional and personal development solutions.

Nathan McLeary

MEMBERSHIP OFFICER

I've been a LEGO fan my entire life, with some of my favorite themes over the years being Star Wars and BIONICLE. I've also started designing and displaying my own MOCs, usually either based on something I'm into at the time, or something completely original!

Chris Rae

Chris Rae

PUBLICITY OFFICER

I am an AFOL, scale model maker, and tabletop gamer from Aberdeenshire. My background is in journalism, marketing, and I currently work as a copywriter for a FTSE100 company in the gaming industry producing text for email newsletters, social media, websites, and more.

Fraser Dallachy

QUARTERMASTER

I'm a big fan of science fiction, fantasy, and adventure stories, so love to create MOCs on these themes. I'm a slow MOC builder, though (partly because I'm an even slower parts-sorter!), and also love sets - the weirder and more creative the better!
