Dundee shipping agent Barrie Kinnes, part of a family business which began in the late 1800s, has died at the age of 85.
Born in Crieff in 1935, he moved to Broughty Ferry in 1937 so his father would be nearer to the family business, Robert Kinnes & Sons, which like many was gearing up for a possible war ahead.
The company was founded by his grandfather in the late 1800s and work included supplies for the Dundee whaling industry through the Tay Whale Fishing Company, as well as other shipping and forwarding work.
