It is with great sadness we report the passing of our past vice president Miss Mary Howie, 1 Old Smiddyfield Park, Blyth Bridge, Peebles.
Mary’s passion was Galloways and her interest in the breed continued after she retired and sold her Carcraigs herd in the late 90s Mary continued to be Vice President of the Society until 2015 and even after that she still attended shows and sales and always willing to help promote the breed.
Friends of Mary are collecting stories and photographs to pass on to her family, if you would like to share your memories please contact:
