Isle of Bute residents gathered at Rothesay’s Guilford Square on Sunday July 8 to light candles in memory of sixyear- old Alesha MacPhail, who was found murdered on the island.
Alesha had disappeared from her father’s home in Ardbeg and her body was found three hours later in nearby woods. As well as the vigil on Bute, people are posting a photo online of a lit candle with the hashtag #lightforalesha with kind words for the family of the girl who was described by her teachers as ‘smiley and happy’.
