                     22nd September 1941 - 5th January 2011

Generations of Malcolm's family came from Kirkcowan, he was very proud of his roots and returned often.
Malcolm left a legacy of his stories of his days in Kirkcowan, his home, childhood, school and church. These have been passed down to his children and grandchildren who will remember fondly the stories,characters and places from the early years of Malcolm's life.
His family would like to thank Kie Stewart for his friendship and for involving him in the website, it meant a lot to Malcolm.

Malcolm contributed a large number of  photos and amusing stories for the website - his input has been invaluable and his sense of humour will be greatly missed - Kie
