It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Alison Ingham on Tuesday, 2nd June at MacMillan Cornhill Centre in Perth, following a two-year battle with cancer, aged 59 years.

Born in Horbury, West Yorkshire, where she worked for 21 years as a receptionist and PA for Chas W. Harrison Auctioneers, Alison moved to Ballinluig in 2009 with her husband Brian, and children George, Evelyn, Harry, and Emily.

All who knew her speak of her sense of fun, kindness and generosity and she was a valued friend to many in the community.
Alison leaves her husband Brian, children George, Evelyn, Harry and Emily, siblings Martyn, Gary and Julie, along with extensive family of in-laws, nieces, and nephews.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Dr. Robert (Rob) Malpas on 5th May 2026, aged 76 years.

Born in Bexley, Kent, Rob devoted more than 40 years of his life to wildlife conservation and sustainable development across East Africa. From his early research on African elephants to his leadership roles with WWF and IUCN, and later through the Conservation Development Centre in Nairobi, he made a lasting contribution to conservation and to the people working to protect the natural world.

After retiring, Rob made his home in Comrie, where he became a valued member of the local community. He shared his knowledge and practical skills with local projects, supported Comrie Croft, and enjoyed his role as a backstage technician with the Comrie Amateur Dramatic Society. Rob will be remembered for his intelligence, kindness, generosity, and quiet determination. A loyal friend and mentor to many, he had a remarkable ability to solve problems, support others, and bring people together. He will be greatly missed. He is survived by his brother, Hong Kong Professor, Emeritus John Malpas.

Friends, colleagues, neighbours, and all who knew Rob are warmly invited to a Celebration of his Life at Comrie Croft on Thursday, 25th June at 11:00am.
