ALMOST £5,000 has now been raised in memory of Paul Thomson, the Lerags businessman who died in a quad bike accident on New Year’s Day.
The father-of-two’s family and friends set up a crowdfunding page to pay for a memorial bench to be placed near Kilbride Kirk.
On the campaign page, The Lerags Glen Community wrote: ‘A hand-crafted stone bench carved with Paul’s name will be set at the high point of the churchyard, looking over the glen he so loved.
