We have just learned that Stewart Blaik, Chair of the Leith Central Community Council, died suddenly at home yesterday evening. The cause is thought to have been a heart attack.
Secretary Roland Reid today described Mr Blaik's passing as 'an enormous blow for Leith Central CC and for the wider community'.
Spurtle joins him in extending our condolences to the deceased's wife and family.
