A LOCHALINE-BASED choir’s successful trip came to a sad end with the sudden death of one of their newest members.
Bùrach Gaelic Choir travelled to Carlow in Ireland last month as part of the Scottish representation at the International Pan Celtic Festival.
During the festival, Bùrach, who had their debut performance at the Barra Provincial Mòd in 2012, received first place in the rural choir section. Despite their silverware, it was a very sombre choir that landed in Glasgow to the news that Iain MacLean had passed away.
