Alastair Urquhart (97)

Aberdonian Gordon Highlander,Nagasaki Bomb survivor, Torpedoed ship survivor and POW survivor, was involved in the slave labour that was involved in building the bridge over the river Kwai

"The Forgotten Highlander" is one of the books ive ever read. Its amazing. (If it wasnt for Motley Crue The Dirt, it would be the best book ive read)

To reach 97 after the trauma he suffered is some some achievent.

RIP to a true Scottish hero

Hardy b*stard. That's a colourful past to have lived through.

And to think crap like a mobile network being down for 4 hours or something makes front page panic news these days.
