A service will be held in St Modan’s Church in Rosneath at 12 noon on Friday February 12, followed by interment at Barbour Cemetery in Cove.

Jamie Taggart, a 41 year-old retained firefighter, disappeared while on a plant-hunting expedition in a remote, mountainous area of north Vietnam in November 2013.
Friends and neighbours on the Rosneath Peninsula raised thousands of pounds to fund searches for Jamie in Vietnam, with Hugh Grant, who has family connections to Jamie’s home at the Linn in Cove, making a substantial donation.
Jamie’s mother Jill Mary flew to Vietnam last year to join renewed searches, but no trace of his remains were found until December 17 last year.
