Congratulations Due!
Warmest congratulations were extended to the Late Deacon, of the Incorporation of Cordiners, Dr Beverly Bergman, on the well-deserved award of an OBE in the New Year Honours List for Services to Veterans in Scotland. Equally deserving was the award to Richard Paterson of an OBE. Richard is a member of the Maltmen and the award was for services to the Whisky industry.
