RIP Colonel Lachie, a great Highland Gentleman. Difficult to keep up with him when the "wee drams" got going. Great memories of the night sleepers down to London for Study Weekends, he used to get the Sleeping Car Conductors pissed as well as everyone else. He'll be content at being buried on his birthplace, the Isle of Skye. Sincere condolences to his wife Isa, his son Donald and daughter Mairi.
