Timeline

1950

Annabel MacNicoll Goldie, Baroness Goldie (born 27 February 1950) is a Scottish politician and life peer who served as Leader of the Scottish Conservative Party from 2005 to 2011 and Minister of State for Defence from 2019 to 2023.

1971

She went on to study at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, graduating with an LL.B in 1971.

1978

Prior to entering politics, she was a solicitor and partner with Glasgow law firm Donaldson, Alexander, Russell & Haddow from 1978 to 2006.

1992

Goldie first stood for election to the House of Commons at the 1992 general election for the Renfrew West and Inverclyde constituency, coming second with 32.9% of the vote.

1999

She was a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP), as one of the additional members for the West Scotland region, from 1999 to 2016.

Annabel MacNicoll Goldie was born in Glasgow, Scotland and raised in Kilmacolm and Lochwinnoch in Renfrewshire.

She attended Kilmacolm Primary School and Greenock Academy; she was head girl at Greenock.

Goldie was elected to the Scottish Parliament in the 1999 election as a regional member for the West of Scotland electoral region.

In addition to her appearance on the regional list ballots, she also stood as a candidate in the West Renfrewshire constituency for the Scottish Parliament in 1999, 2003 and 2007.

2003

She has retained this seat in the 2003, 2007 and 2011 elections.

2005

She became leader of the Scottish Conservatives in 2005 until standing down in 2011.

On 31 October 2005, Goldie became acting leader after David McLetchie resigned as leader of the Scottish Conservatives following adverse publicity created by the publishing of details of expenses he claimed for taxi journeys.

Goldie put herself forward as a leadership candidate on 2 November 2005—a joint nomination with Murdo Fraser as her proposed deputy.

Their nomination was unopposed and Goldie was appointed leader on 8 November 2005, the first woman to lead the Scottish Conservative Party.

In her maiden speech as leader, she promised to act against "disloyalty and disobedience" in the party and in a reference to Margaret Thatcher she said, "I think you may take it matron's handbag will be in hyper-action. There could be worse precedents to follow".

2006

At her first party conference in March 2006, Goldie set out her plans to make the Scottish Conservatives the "principal party of opposition in Scotland".

However, her second conference as party leader was overshadowed by a leaked memo by David Mundell, the only Scottish Conservative MP in the House of Commons, and Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland, in which he criticised Goldie's leadership.

2007

While increasing the Conservative share of the vote each time, she was not elected although she raised her position from third to second place in 2007 with a reduced Labour majority.

Goldie won praise for her leadership of the party into the 2007 Scottish Parliament election and personally as a skilled debater, and was labelled a "much-liked public figure".

2009

From February 2009 onwards, she was given monthly attendance rights to participate in the Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet in Westminster.

2011

West Renfrewshire was abolished at the 2011 election, with Goldie unsuccessfully contending the new Renfrewshire North and West constituency.

On 9 May 2011, Goldie stated her intention to resign as leader of the Scottish Conservatives, citing her party's disappointing election result; she stood down on 4 November following the election of Ruth Davidson as her successor.

2013

Goldie was put on the 2013 list as a Conservative working peer in the House of Lords and was created a life peer on 3 October 2013, taking the title Baroness Goldie, of Bishopton in the County of Renfrewshire.

2014

Goldie later served as the party's culture and communities and served as the party's constitutional spokesperson during the 2014 Scottish referendum and stood down from the Parliament at the 2016 election.

2016

In June 2016, she was appointed a Baroness-in-Waiting in the Royal Household, acting as a whip in the UK Government.

2019

She was promoted in July 2019 to Minister of State for Defence.

She was later reappointed by Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak respectively.

She has identified the need for the armed forces to address climate change, and to improve the experience of women in the forces, as among her priorities.

Goldie lives in Bishopton, Renfrewshire.

She is also an Elder in the Church of Scotland, and sits on the West of Scotland Advisory Board of the Salvation Army.

She is a Deputy Lieutenant of the County of Renfrewshire.
