The Oban Times

Tribute to hero piper would be fitting

-

Sir, In my article on Willie Lawrie in The Oban Times of July 7, I wrote that Mrs Macdonald of Dunach was from Tote on Skye. She was actually a Macdonald from Ord on the Sleat peninsula on Skye.

It would be a fitting tribute if a memorial to Pipe Major Willie Lawrie, in the form of a trophy to be competed for annually in one of the piping competitio­ns at the Argyllshir­e Gathering, could be awarded in Willie’s memory to mark his unrivalled contributi­on to pipe compositio­n in peace and war.
