A LOCHABER couple have been honoured with an award from Fort William Mountain Festival organisers.
Alex and Mary Gillespie were presented with the Friends of the Festival Award, including free passes to all future festival events, as an appreciation for the support they have given to the mountain festival over the years and their contributions to the wider outdoors community in Lochaber.
Dave Wrigglesworth who presented the award to the couple said: ‘When the committee was deciding who to present this award to I’ve never seen a unanimous decision taken so quickly. Alex and Mary are thought of with love, admiration and respect.’
