We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Past President and well known and well respected breeder, Willie Allan of Millfield Highland Ponies. He passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his family, on Saturday.

Willie's funeral will be held on Wednesday 2nd July, 12.30pm at Freuchie Parish Church followed by Falkland Cemetery 1.30pm.
