In brief
Glenrothes loss
Tributes have poured in for John Sutherland distillery manager of Glenrothes who died recently.
Luke Tegner, Glenrothes brand director said: “John was taken into hospital, initially to Elgin then to Aberdeen and Edinburgh. He went home at the end of the week, apparently never really felt well, and died at home.
“John was so much more than the distillery manager. First and foremost a true friend, John was a great character - larger than life, with a fantastic and wicked sense of humour. He was an active and devoted ambassador for The Glenrothes, fully involved both at the heart of its production and as an evangelist on a global level.
“We will miss him immeasurably. It goes without saying that our thoughts are with John’s family.â€
