Ian Rollo Steven (Skrine’s 1948–1953) passed away peacefully on 12th April 2025, aged 90.
A proud Glenalmond alumnus, Ian went on to study law at St Andrews and spent over 50 years with his family’s legal firm, eventually becoming senior partner. He was well respected within the legal profession and served as dean of the Faculty of Solicitors in Dundee.
Outside of work, Ian was a lifelong sportsman. He represented his school in rugby, golf and cricket, and later competed as part of the Scottish national ski team, remaining active well into retirement.
Ian also dedicated much of his time to charitable work, acting as trustee for a number of organisations. He is remembered fondly for his sharp mind, quiet strength, and enduring love of the outdoors.
Ian married Hilary “Joy” Elibeck in 1969, and together they raised two daughters. He is survived by Hilary, Sarah, Kate, and his grandchildren Andrew and Zoe.
A thanksgiving service to celebrate Ian’s life was held at St Margaret’s Church, Dundee.
