He has been a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) since 2007, firstly as an MSP for the Central Scotland region from 2007 to 2011, then as the MSP for the Cumbernauld and Kilsyth constituency since 2011.
Educated at Hyndland Secondary School and the University of Glasgow, Hepburn graduated with a Politics and History degree.

Before his election, Hepburn was convener of the Federation of Student Nationalists and the Young Scots for Independence. He had been the SNP candidate for the Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East constituency at the 2005 general election. He has worked for Alex Neil, a fellow SNP MSP.
