We are all still mourning the loss of Jim Wallace earlier this year.
Alex Cole-Hamilton dedicated his acceptance speech when he won his Edinburgh North Western constituency with a vastly increased majority to Jim, recalling his last conversation with Jim a few days before he died.
We all wish he could have been around to celebrate our election success when we more than doubled our 4 MSPs elected in 2021.
We will have the chance to remember Jim at his memorial service which will take place on Friday 5th June 2026 at Dunblane Cathedral at 11.30 am.
The event will be livestreamed on the Dunblane Cathedral YouTube channel and will be available to watch on catch up.
Travel to Dunblane is quite straighforward:
Rail: Regular trains from Glasgow Queen St ( sometimes involving a change at
Stirling) and from Edinburgh Waverley to Dunblane.
The train from Edinburgh stops at Edinburgh Park Station, a 10 minute tram ride from Edinburgh
Airport. The Cathedral is a 5 minute easy walk from the station.
Citylink Stagecoach and Ember buses pass through Dunblane
If travelling by car there is some parking available in the town but best to be early.
