THE brother of the late renowned chef Andrew Fairlie has paid the ultimate tribute to his sibling by reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro for two much-loved charities.
Jim Fairlie regarded the expedition as a “personal pilgrimage” after Andrew climbed to the top of the Tanzanian volcano in 2011 while fighting a 15-year brain tumour to create the world’s highest Burns supper.
Just before Andrew – Scotland’s only two Michelin Star chef – died in 2019, Jim had had a late-night chat with his brother about how he had no regrets and all the amazing experiences he had crammed into a life cut short.
