Tom White was an integral part of Ballater Victoria Week's Ghost Tours for several years. Sadly, he died suddenly on June 4th.
He had arranged costumes, props, light and sounds, and generally scared the bejeezus out of countless intrepid tour-goers.
Tom had announced that this was to be his last year as Chief Ghost and his wife Maureen said he had been looking forward to reprising the role one last time. With the help of volunteers who loved working with Tom, we intend to run the tours this year in his memory.
A tremendous character, Tom's input to BVW and the Ghost Tours will be greatly missed.
There will be a service at Baldarroch Crematorium, Crathes, at 1pm on Monday June 12th, with donations to BVW, or you can donate here.
Ballater Victoria Week is an 10-day series of village community events which runs on Royal Deeside, Scotland every August, with something for everyone.
With Maureen's guidance, we will ensure that any monies raised will benefit a cause within that which fully befits Tom's memory.
Thank you.
Cat Houston and Ade Scripps, for the Ballater Victoria Week family
