Jill is a Professor of Property Law and the Natural Environment at the University of Glasgow and Deputy Chair of NatureScot. Her work sits at the intersection of law, governance, and environmental sustainability and focuses on how legal frameworks can reconcile development and justice goals with ecological limits and natural systems, supporting large-scale ecosystem restoration. Jill graduated with a law degree from the University of Edinburgh in 2008 and completed her PhD entitled "Private Water Rights in Scots Law" in 2012. She has been involved in environmental governance, with a notable appointment to the Board of NatureScot in September 2022.
