On Friday we had the privilege of conducting the funeral service of the late Reverend Robin Paterson at the All Saint's Church, Glencarse.

During is time as a Reverend, Robin looked after many churches right across the country and first met our founder Bill and his son Colin over 25 years ago during his time at St Mary's Church in Birnam. Robin was 92 years old when he passed away peacefully on the 18th of August, having subsequently moved down near Glasgow.

Despite the passage of time between last working alongside Robin at St Mary's in the 1990s into the early 2000s to now in 2025, we were touched to discover that he had left specific instructions that we were to carry out his funeral arrangements and conduct the service.

It is a true testament to the care and compassion that Bill and Colin showed during that time, and continue to show to this day with the new generation of the W&K Gerrie family that Robin's family reached out to us in their time of need 💛

Thank you Robin, it was an honour to serve you and your family. Rest Peacefully, and God Bless you and your family 🕊🕯

We had a wonderful day at Birnam Highland Games this afternoon soaking in the atmosphere and meeting so many familiar faces!
Did you spot our flags right at the entrance gate this year? 👀

Poor Maple was absolutely exhausted by such a busy day, that by the time we were back at the funeral home to dry off before heading home, she was up on the couch and sound asleep! 😴

Another amazing year! Well done to all of the organisers and competitors- we are so looking forward to next year! 🥁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
