Fr Len was born in Glasgow in March 1949, the older of two brothers, and married Ruth Morrison in 1979. They have three children: George (who is in the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy), Simon (who is married to Leanne and lives in Reading) and Mary (who lives in Inverness and is married to Steven and they have two daughters, Rachel and Lauren).

He was ordained deacon in 1972 and priest a year later in the Anglican Diocese of Aberdeen and Orkney and served as curate of St Margaret's, Aberdeen, and in parishes in Dundee and Aberdeen before moving to Inverness in 1980 where he served as Rector of St Michael and All Angels until 2011. He also served as Dean of the Anglican Diocese of Moray, Ross and Caithness from 2000-2009.

Fr Len was ordained a Catholic Deacon at Pluscarden Abbey by Bishop Peter Moran, Bishop of Aberdeen, in June 2011 and Priest on 17th July 2011 by Bishop Philip Tartaglia of Paisley, the bishop-delegate in Scotland for the Ordinariate, in St Mary’s Church in Greenock and in the presence of Monsignor Keith Newton, Ordinary, and Monsignor John Broadhurst, Assistant to the Ordinary. Also present was Fr Philip Price, now also a Catholic priest, who was Fr Len's training priest when he was ordained in 1972. He thus has the unique position of having been present at both Fr Len's ordinations to the priesthood, one Anglican and one Catholic!

Fr Len has a small Oratory Chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph in the garden of his home in Inverness where Mass is said during the week. A great deal of his Ordinariate time is spent travelling around Scotland ... something he greatly enjoys.

There is one 'secret occupation' that Fr Simon is very proud of. He was an amateur jockey! As he explains, "I trained as an amateur jockey at the British Racing School at Newmarket attending the Amateur National Hunt Course, with race horse trainer, Jimmy Frost, enjoying my first full season racing Point to Point 2006-7 and achieved a winner at Wadebridge in Cornwall.

"That season culminated in me representing the Royal Navy in The Grand Military Gold Cup at Sandown Park where I met a spectacular end by being run out into the rails by two loose horses when leading nine lengths clear of the rest of field! I have firm intentions to provide a home for a couple of retired race horses once our new home, the Mill, is completed and the paddocks are ready."
