Tributes have been paid to the Tannahill Makar Brian Whittingham, who has passed away.
Brian was appointed as the first Tannahill Makar in 2018 to write poems marking important events in the local area.
Already an accomplished and well-regarded poet, Brian worked with schools, libraries and community groups to encourage interest in poetry, often choosing to write additional poems inspired by his daily work and the people he met.
