Charities
Macleod and MacCallum have a strong and reputable track record working with Charities and are ideally placed to guide you through the legislation applying to charitable organisations.
We have a large client base amongst charitable, community and other non-profit-distributing organisations, and we offer a wide range of services in this sector.
We can advise on regulation, compliance and risk management, the role of trustees and the status and constitution of charities. We can also give guidance on funding and critically on charity relationship with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).
Charity law has undergone significant changes in the past few years with the establishment of OSCR, and our experienced team can advise and guide on the implications and requirements for registration as a Scottish Charity.

Testimonials
Professional, friendly and helpful
Delighted with the service I have received from your lettings team. Very professional, friendly and helpful.
Friendly & Professional
Over the last 15 years I have used Macleod and MacCallum for buying and selling houses as well as managing residential lettings. I have always found the staff very friendly and professional. Always happy to discuss various scenarios based upon current market conditions whether it be in property sales or rentals. They have offered sound advice and provided a very good service throughout.
Excellent Service
Excellent service from the first viewing to getting handed over the keys to our rented property. Well recommended. Agents were very helpful and were just a phone call away when we needed them
Knowledgeable & Supportive
In September 2014 my wife and I sought tenders from Letting Agents to manage six new build flats which were nearing completion and this is when we first met Sarah-Anne Gow of Mac and Mac. During the time they have been managing our flats, we have been delighted with the friendly, knowledgeable and supportive way their team have undertaken the task and in our view their performance has been ‘superior’.
Completely Satisfied
I’m completely satisfied with your service Aidan, I can say it was super easy, super smooth, no hassle or any issue whatsoever during this process. I felt like you did everything what you can on the short timescale what we had in this situation, which I really appreciate. I can definitely recommend your service to others and again thank you very much to sort literally everything so quick and so efficient.
Less stressful
We have used the Macleod & MacCallum solicitors, estate agents & financial advisers for numerous years in their various departments within the firm and will continue to do so due to their professionalism and dedication. Without a doubt they have made everything less stressful throughout the process. Once again, many thanks to all members of the team.
Very Professional & Excellent Service
Gemma McClelland from Macleod and MacCallum provided a very professional and excellent service throughout my recent purchase of a property. I am very grateful to her for her legal expertise and very personable manner. I have no hesitation in highly recommending her and should I require the services of a property solicitor again, she would definitely be my first port of call.
Very Approachable & Helpful
Very professional company to deal with. Used them for house sale recently. All staff very approachable and helpful. Communication was good and everything well explained. Special thanks to Lindsay Bishop and Bev for enabling a smooth and quick sale.
Diligence and Professionalism Throughout
I would like to take this opportunity to place on record my thanks and satisfaction with your ongoing work as to the purchase of my property. The process was not as simple as it should have been, but due to your diligence and professionalism throughout the past twelve months we persevered and concluded the sale. Without your support and guidance I would have struggled to have controlled my emotions as to the continued obstacles that were presented to us.
