We all miss Heather so much, and having a physical place where we can go to reflect and remember her is a comfort – as is thinking of the hundreds (maybe thousands!) of people over the years who will now be able to enjoy a moment of rest in such a peaceful spot. Thank you to East Lothian Council for their help with the location and installation, David Ogilvie Engineering for creating the perfect bespoke bench, and most of all to all of you for your kind and generous donations which made this possible.

On Saturday 1st October, some of Heather’s close family and friends gathered at the bench to lay flowers, plant some bulbs and take a moment to remember her. In true Scottish fashion, the heavens opened – but then the skies cleared and a rainbow appeared over the Firth of Forth, which felt like a fitting tribute. If you wish to visit, the postcode for the car park is EH21 7QE - the bench is a short walk north of the car park. (2/3)

Hello everyone, I'm so pleased to let you know that Heather's memorial bench has now been installed in a beautiful spot at Musselburgh Lagoons near Edinburgh. The bench overlooks a lake opposite a nature reserve that is renowned for its birdlife. The bench includes some personal touches – a purple rose, to celebrate her favourite colour and her favourite band (Guns ‘n’ Roses), a Kiwi, to represent her connections to New Zealand, and two Canada Geese, which she loved to hear flying in formation over her home in nearby Musselburgh.
