Ann Gloag Siblings: Who Is Brian Souter?
Annual accounts show that bus magnates Sir Brian Souter and his sister Ann Gloag decided a year ago to split the wealth that they managed together.
Sir Brian Souter is a Scottish businessman. With his sister, Dame Ann Gloag, he founded the Stagecoach Group of bus and rail operators.
He also founded the bus and coach operator Megabus, the train operating company South West Trains, his investments company Souter Holdings Ltd, and the Souter Charitable Trust.
Souter has been politically active in Scotland and supported the Scottish National Party (SNP) financially.
In 2000, when the Scottish Executive proposed to repeal Section 2A of the Local Government Act, which prevented local authorities from “promoting homosexuality”, Souter started the Keep the Clause campaign to oppose their plans, spending £1 million of his own money to organize a private referendum across Scotland.
This campaign and other controversial statements have led opponents to accuse him of homophobia.
