Tributes to ‘kind’ Lord Provost who died age 83

Tributes have been paid to Edinburgh’s former Lord Provost George Grubb following his death, aged 83.

A Church of Scotland minister for over 40 years before he became the city’s first and only Liberal Democrat Lord Provost.

Mr Grubb was councillor for South Queensferry, later Almond ward, from 1999 until 2012 and Lord Provost for five years from 2007. Lib Dem councillor Kevin Lang said, “George was one of the kindest and most generous people you could meet. With a cheeky smile and infectious laugh, he was simply a joy to be around. “
