Death of former teacher

It is with sadness that we record the death of Christopher Hew CARRUTHERS.  He joined the teaching staff at the College in September 1966 and as well as teaching Latin was an excellent all round sportsman and particularly enjoyed cricket.  He left in September 1973 to join Fettes College in Edinburgh.  He died peacefully at his home, Holmains, Dalton, Lockerbie, on 14th October 2024, aged 84 years.  A Private Cremation has taken place in accordance with his wishes.I believe he had a family connection to Fettes and the Carruthers family owned the lands of Holmains from at least the 14th century.
