Forbes Lawson Wealth Management, City Gate Aberdeen and Albyn Associates join Fairstone: serving clients across Northern Scotland for over 65 years
City Gate Aberdeen, led by Firm Principal Alan Johnston, who has 34 years experience as an adviser, joined Fairstone in 2025. As an established wealth, mortgage and protection advice provider serving clients for over 23 years, City Gate is a valuable part of Fairstone’s wider presence in and around Aberdeen.
City Gate joins Forbes Lawson Wealth Management, led by Firm Principals Richard Macmillan and Ian Robinson, which joined Fairstone in 2024 as an equally established business that has been providing client-focused financial advice for over 24 years.
Albyn Associates Financial Management, led by Firm Principals Colin Maclennan and Charlie Thomson, was established in 1998 and has grown considerably across the region. Serving clients in Westhill and Aberdeen, the firm built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, independent financial advice before joining Fairstone in April 2026.
Serving clients across Westhill and Aberdeen, these three businesses joined Fairstone to enhance their offering, gain access to broader resources, and continue delivering independent, high-quality wealth management.
Together, the combined teams now leverage Fairstone’s regulatory expertise, national scale, and advanced technology to continue providing trusted, independent financial advice and premium investment solutions to clients across Aberdeen and beyond.
