Unveiling the David / Davy McLellan Memorial

Despite overcast skies, there was a heartwarming turnout of family and friends for the unveiling of David McLellan’s memorial at the foot of Tinto Hill.

Following a short poetry reading and a piece of music, David's sister did the honors and removed the wraps from the memorial. After which, David's legacy was celebrated with anecdotes that brought smiles and laughter, painting a picture of his vibrant life on and off the hill.

Mountain Aid were delighted to be involved in the installation of this memorial to David, a former trustee of Mountain Aid and committee member of its predecessor Boots Across Scotland.
