Dougie was a great colleague and friend. I have many happy memories of serving with him on the White Watch at Sighthill Fire Station. Dougie was a character and there was never a dull moment when he was around. We lost touch when I moved away from Edinburgh, but a couple of years ago we renewed our friendship through Facebook. It's a pity we didn't get an opportunity to have a catch up over a pint. RIP Dougie. Baz
