Alastair, my younger son, was born in Raigmore Hospital, Inverness on 4th March 1967. He spent his early years in Fortose on the Black Isle, While there he attended Primary schools in Fortrose and Avoch. In 1975 he moved with the family, to Broughty Ferry, Dundee. He finished his Primary education at Forthill Primary School before moving on to complete his Secondary education at Grove Academy. After leaving school he gained a place at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh where he gained a B.Sc. in Physics. Unable to find employment he went on to gain an M.Sc. at Napier College, Edinburgh. As he was still unable to find permanent employment he did occasional, computer related, contract work for Sky Television. Alastair died suddenly on 8th May 2000 following a severe asthma attack. His funeral service was held at Warriston Crematorium in Edinburgh. His name was entered in their book of remembrance and his ashes were interred in Barnhill Cemetery, Broughty Ferry, Dundee. His mother, Iris, died suddenly in January 2009 and her ashes are buried alongside those of Alastair.
