It is with the deepest sadness that I heard about the untimely passing of Ian. My thoughts are with his immediate family, friends and colleagues. At the time I was setting up Living Streets in Scotland, Ian was a huge support and influence. Not only was he generous with his time and advice, but he was someone who was kind, friendly and approachable. Through his guidance and vision, he assisted in the development and inclusion of Living Streets into the Paths for All and wider Scottish walking and health networks. Living Streets has been able to grow from these sure foundations. Ian will be missed.
