The Tumbling Lassie Committee is a small group of advocates (lawyers at the Scottish bar). We are named after the central figure in a very early Scottish anti-slavery case, Reid v Scot of Harden (1687), the only surving report of which contains the memorable words "But we have no slaves in Scotland, and mothers cannot sell their bairns." Over 330 years later, tragically, slavery survives, even in Scotland. We work to spread awareness of the ongoing problems of modern slavery and people trafficking and seek to rasie funds for charities that rescue victims of these crimes and support survivors as they recover, both in Scotland and in the developing world.
