Lyanne Docherty

It is with great sadness that the Diary has learned that Lyanne died in hospital in Glasgow on Wednesday 18th March, after a long illness.

Lyanne was brought up on Eilean Shona and Acharacle.  She attended Acharacle Primary School, The National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music at Plockton, where she learnt to become a very talented fiddle player and singer, and Ardnamurchan High School.

After leaving school she worked in a number of hotel management posts in Edinburgh and then moved to live in Kilchoan where she was the chef at the Kilchoan Hotel. On leaving Kilchoan she moved to Paisley.

Lyanne's funeral will take place at Cardross Crematorium on Friday 27th march at 1.15pm. All friends are warmly welcomed.

Mairi and Andrew and all the family are very grateful for all the messages of sympathy they have received.
