TRIBUTES have been paid after a former Lochgilphead man died in a paragliding accident in New Zealand.
Ben Letham, 26, had a love for the outdoors sparked in Argyll. He learned to surf on waves at Westport and Tangy beaches near Campbeltown and it is to these Kintyre winds some of Ben’s ashes will be returned.
He moved to New Zealand to pursue his outdoor dreams and had been a pilot with GForce Paragliding near Queenstown on South Island for three years.
