The Isle of Jura is an island in mourning again. We are all absolutely devastated that Duncan Buie has died. Duncan was from an old Jura family. He was a close friend of Paddy who died only the other week. Jura has lost two of its best known characters in such a short space of time, each one dying well before their time. Duncan was only in his fifties. He always had a smile on his face and gave visitors a fantastic welcome to his island and home. Everyone who truly knew Jura will have known Duncan. He worked in the island’s distillery and was seen in publications throughout the land as the distillery featured his familiar face, in amongst the barrels in the warehouse, in many of their adverts. I am so sorry for his many friends and family and for the whole community for their sad sad loss, it will take a long time to heal such deep wounds and Jura will never quite be the same again.
Until next time…
How sad to lose someone of such character.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear sad news like that....it feels so strange when the old guard die - as if the community has lost a foundation or something a bit vital.
ReplyDeleteI loved catching up on your blogs too.....and loved your facts. Fancy you being at drama school - do you ever get the urge to tread the boards again?
