BORN to the late Flora and Archie Duncan at Craigard Maternity Hospital, Campbeltown, Maurice became an accomplished fiddler renowned throughout Argyll and beyond.
Maurice was educated at Dalintober Primary School and the old Campbeltown Grammar.
He became a piper in the Ceannloch Campbeltown Pipe Band for several years, but then through the influences of the late Tom McGillivray, a teacher at Campbeltown Grammar, he discovered the fiddle.
