Colin McEachran MBE
It is with great regret that STS can confirm the sad passing of Colin McEachran on 21 May 2022. Colin was a true servant and promoter of shooting, leaving a positive and friendly impression with all of those who had the pleasure of working with and shooting alongside Colin. His infectious love for the sport was impossible to ignore and not catch when you spent time with Colin. The sympathies of everyone at STS goes to Colin’s family, friends and all those who knew him.
Colin was the inaugural winner of the Bob Aitken Service to Shooting Award in 2017 so we felt it was fitting to re-share this summary of his considerable involvement and contribution to not just shooting, but Scottish sport over more than 50 years…follow this link to read the summary.
