Colin McEachran MBE

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.
