A SKIPNESS couple who met at a dance – and spent so long dancing at their wedding reception that people had to remind them to leave – are celebrating 60 years of wedded bliss.
Duncan Shaw first met Jean McLaren in Skipness primary school when Duncan was nine and Jean was eight, but it wasn’t until a dance in the 1950s that Duncan, now 85, asked Jean out – ‘maybe after a few hints’, adds Jean, 84.
