Viv Lumsden

Vivien Dale Victoria Lumsden (born Edinburgh, 22 November 1952) was a newsreader on the Scottish TV (STV Central) news programme, "Scotland Today" for nine years. Before Scottish TV, she worked on BBC Scotland's "Reporting Scotland".

Lumsden has been a broadcaster for more than 20 years. Her on-screen partnership with Shereen Nanjiani in the 1990s, made "Scotland Today" a ratings winner. She started her career in 1975 as an AA traffic reporter, before joining BBC Scotland as a Breakfast Time newsreader. Lumsden also fronted coverage of the Glasgow Garden Festival in 1988 for BBC Scotland.

Lumsden was a director of Saga Radio in Glasgow until it was brought over to become Smooth FM, and is on the board of the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in the city. She is restaurant critic for Scottish Field magazine with an incisive writing style and regularly writes and broadcasts on aspects of the hospitality industry, travel and home style and design.

She lives in Glasgow with her husband, fellow broadcaster, Alan Douglas. Lumsden has an adult son and daughter.
