In what has been a difficult week, we are also mourning Murdo Macdonald (Murdo Wasp). Always so ready to give of his time and talents (musical & carpentry). Sàr dhuine. A' cuimhneachadh air an teaghlach agus Maighread.

We're devastated to record the sudden passing of our project officer, Sandra Macleod. Her tireless hard work and boundless enthusiasm have done more for the comann than we could ever have hoped. Our thoughts are with her family at this incredibly difficult time.
