INDUSTRY-WIDE tributes have been paid to Donald Biggar, who died suddenly last weekend. An influential figure on many levels within the industry, these were led by his friend and NFUS Stewartry branch secretary, Michael Coutts and NFU Scotland president, Andrew McCornick. Mr Biggar was a lifelong member of the Stewartry branch, a member of the branch’s executive for more than 40 years and president of the branch in 1987/88, going on to serve as area president in 1996/97. Mr Coutts said: “Donald was NFUS area president at the time of the famous ‘Beef Blockades’ at Stranraer – a very challenging time for the union. He was the voice of reason and diplomacy when feelings were high and tempers too!
