Condolence Book for Lord Wallace in St Magnus Cathedral

 Lord Wallace of Tankerness, who passed away last week, will in the wider public primarily be remembered as Scotland’s first-ever Deputy First Minister, for long stretches serving as First Minister. In Orkney, however, Jim Wallace’s legacy will equally be his tremendous service to the community as an MP and later MSP for Orkney and Shetland, his active engagement in Orkney life – including as an elder and choir member in St Magnus Cathedral – and his kindness and broadmindedness. 

In the recognition that many members of the public will wish to remember Lord Wallace and offer their condolences to his family, a condolence book will be set out in St Magnus Cathedral between Tuesday February 3^rd and Monday February 9^th, after which it will be handed over to the family. Cathedral opening times are 0900-1300 and 1400-1700 Monday to Saturday.
