Tricia and Crawford

I have enjoyed being a GP for 26 years in my family practice in Leith and then Cramond. Crawford moved from surgery to general practice and was happy in his small practice in Bangholm Loan. We shared a passion for art and music but loved heading off to the mountains to recharge our batteries. We walked in the Scottish hills in the summer and headed off to wilderness places for off piste ski adventures in the winter. This photo is of our last lunch together while skiing in Kyrgyzstan in 2001. An hour later we were both buried in an avalanche and although I was rescued and resuscitated Crawford sadly died. I continue living in our home in Trinity and have returned to the mountains both walking and skiing.
