Last month we said farewell to Rev Dr Neil Dougall as he retired from ministry after 23 years serving St Andrew Blackadder Parish Church.

It was a special day filled with tributes, memories, music, laughter and friendship as members of the congregation, family and friends gathered to thank both Neil and Helen for their faithful service.

These photo montages, kindly put together by Derek Braid, capture some of the presentations in the sanctuary and the fellowship shared over coffee and cake afterwards.

We wish Neil and Helen every blessing and happiness for the years ahead. ❤️
