Sheila Roy

As regular visitors will have noted, this site has been silent over the past few days, as a mark of respect to Sheila Roy, who sadly died at the end of last week.

Sheila was a leading light in so much of the community activity of the West End - the Community Council and Friends of Magdalen Green in particular. Sheila got things done; for the West End and for the charities she supported. Only last month, she abseiled from the Forth Bridge, in aid of Alzheimer Scotland.


The photo (right) is of Sheila and me last year at the Blackness Library 100th birthday celebrations. The lovely afternoon at her 70th birthday party last year will always remain with me. I will so miss but never forget Sheila; she had been a good - a very good - friend.
