Vie Tulloch

We arrived back at Tayinloan for the ferry back to Gigha on Tuesday afternoon, some 600 miles after Kris and Tara's lovely wedding on the weekend, to the news that Vie had died that lunchtime. Vie was the oldest person on Gigha at 90. She was an amazing dancer, sculptor, poet, artist and naturalist. A lover of life - she was also one of the most charismatic and wonderful people that we knew. Jayne and I think she is a fantastic role model. Her presence is very strong and will always be with us here on Gigha. As Joe piped the lament and her coffin was lowered the sun was shining and the breeze blew up the white horses over the Sound of Gigha above Kilchattan where she lies.
