tribute to Marjory McLachlan CVO

The curling world was saddened to hear of the passing of Marjory McLachlan CVO.

She devoted a huge part of her life to the sport of curling and will be principally remembered in her roles as RCCC Ladies Branch President, RCCC Representative to the World Curling Federation and Captain of the US/Scot Tour 1991.

Marjory was appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Stirling and Falkirk in November 2005 a position she held until February 2017 and was further honoured by being awarded the CVO by the Queen in December 2016.

She will be fondly remembered by everyone who knew her, particularly for her quick wit and sense of fun.

I was privileged to be a member of the 1991 Tour and I know I speak on behalf of my fellow tourists when I say how much we enjoyed her ‘off the cuff’ speeches and remarks during the formal dinners and how proud we were to have Marjory as our Captain.

She will be sorely missed by everyone and our sincere condolences are extended to the family at this time.
