“I was in Chris’ year at Heriots and, as I lived in Morningside, we used to catch the bus together sometimes. I remember Chris as being kind, positive, friendly and intelligent. We went as ‘partners’ to the S6 Dance together. When he was late to pick me up and I gave him an earful, he just made me laugh with his story of getting ready (I think wrestling to put his kilt on!) and gave me a corsage which I was delighted with. He was a true gentleman.

We were back in contact a couple of years ago when, to my surprise, I received a flyer through my letterbox with his face on it when he was standing in Glasgow North West for the Conservatives for the General Election. It was great to hear from him.”
