Death
We were very sorry to hear of the passing of Murdo Donald Macleod (Murdigan), Seaview Terrace, on Monday 23rd December.
We remember all the family at this time, especially his son Callum with his wife Elaine, Iain with his partner Sharon, Murdo with his wife Wilma and his daughter Alison with her husband Norman. We also remember the grandchildren and great grandchildren as well as his sisters Alice and Jessie Anne and the wider family and friends.

What better way to start the year than with a “Ceilidh” with Murdie “Parkend” Macleod. Murdie and Duncan Norman will entertain those who come with a Question and Answer session covering Murdie’s Christian life. The singing will be led by Kenny Macdonald from Back.
Please come along and blow away the Festive Season cobwebs along with the over 55s.
