Stewart Mackenzie (update 2)
I’m sad to have to report the passing of Stewart Mackenzie yesterday. He was a member of George Heriot’s FP RC for many years (as long as I can remember, and I go back a long way) and latterly also of Balerno & Currie after the school summarily tossed the club out of the school range in 2015. He had just had his 78th birthday.
He will be missed by his many friends in both clubs and the local shooting community.
Update from Charlie Mackenzie of Heriot’s:
Stewart’s funeral will be at Warriston Crematorium Lorimer Chapel at 11:00 am on 26th October .
Update 2:
If people can’t attend but wanted to watch, the funeral service will be live streamed as it happens online and be available to watch for a further 28 days using the same log in details. These are:

Stewart was a very popular and influential member of the Lothians shooting community for well over 50 years. He was club George Heriot’s (FP) RC Captain for 50 years and presided over the Heriot’s centenary 2 years ago. The NSRA awarded him a Diploma for his years of service to the sport and this was presented at the Centenary Dinner.
Stewart was a regular County shot and Club Champion on many occasions.
His support and help during some difficult times during the clubs move from Heriot’s school range was very much appreciated and ensured the cub continued to thrive.
Very much a people person and he always put others first – encouraging shooters at all clubs.
He will be sadly missed.
