We're getting ready for the Kiltwalk! 🥾🚶‍♂️

This time it's our Edinburgh office's turn to walk the 11.3 miles from Musselburgh to Murrayfield on Sunday 13th September.

We're proudly supporting breast cancer awareness charity, CoppaFeel! once again following Gildeas Director Lindsay Hare's incredible fundraising efforts earlier this year.

We’re incredibly proud of the team for taking on the challenge and raising money for such an important cause.

If you’d like to show your support, any donation big or small, would be hugely appreciated.

You could be holding evidence you didn't even know you had.

From smart watch activity data to your Instagram location tagging, your digital footprint could help prove what happened - but it could also raise questions about your injuries.

Don't let your digital footprint catch you out.

If you've been injured, get advice before deleting, sharing or overlooking digital evidence.

In 2015, Scotland completely overhauled the court system.

ASPIC was the creation of a specialist court for personal injury cases.

Since then, thousands of claims have moved through the court each year, with technology and specialist case management continuing to reshape the process.

Watch to learn what happened - and why it matters for your claim 👉

Our client was still an active biker into his 80s. Until a dangerous driver struck at a junction, leaving him trapped between the two vehicles.

Find out how Gildeas worked to support him - and resolved his claim in less than a year.

Your child has been hurt. The last thing you expect is to question their responsibility.

But the law may say otherwise.

In our latest blog, we explain children and contributory negligence in plain English, share a real life court case and offer practical back to school road safety tips for parents.

Two minutes. One client's story that stayed with us.

People see the crash - but what they don't see are the weeks and months of the journey that comes after.

Paul does.

We caught up with him about living with serious injuries after a motorcycle accident. He shares what changed, what recovery has been like, and what he wants others to understand.

If you've never heard someone speak this openly about life after a serious injury, this is worth your time.

AI has meant injured people in Scotland feel more empowered than ever before - from researching, getting legal advice, and even representing themselves in court.

But your personal injury claim deserves more than a standard AI response.

Not everything shared online reflects how Scots law works in practice - and there are even cases in UK courts where AI usage has given false information and caused a claim to be thrown out.

Every case is different, which is why tailored advice from an experienced personal injury solicitor is the best option in taking your case forward.

Does making a personal injury claim make you 'one of those people'?

It's a question many injured people ask themselves.

The phrase "compensation culture" has been repeated for years.

But has it stopped genuine people from getting the help they deserve?

In our latest blog, we explore whether Scotland really has a claim culture, why the myths still exist - and what every injured person should know before deciding whether or not to claim.

We're delighted to be supporting Beatson Cancer Charity this September at their Beatson Bikers ride out event!

With hundreds of bikers taking part last year, the day is sure to be another memorable one.

It's the second year attending for Gildeas Director, Stephen Hay who said, "Having had first hand experience of the amazing work and compassion shown at the Beatson, I was delighted to take part at the first Beatson Bikers ride out.

I'm proud to provide our support again this year and highlight the incredible work undertaken at the Beatson. I look forward to seeing everyone there."
