Obituary: Ian McLaren

A love of family, farming and friendship were the driving forces that prevailed throughout the life of Ian McLaren (71), of Cronan Farm, Coupar Angus, who died suddenly on February 5. It was a very fitting tribute, therefore, that his sons shared the driving of the Massey Ferguson 550 their father had used regularly to feed the cattle, for Mr McLaren’s final journey from Cronan to Kettins Church. Neighbours, friends and family were able to pay their last respects by the roadside as the tractor and trailer drove by. Mr McLaren spent the first 50 years of his life at Fintalich Farm, near Crieff, where he farmed in partnership with his cousins, Stuart and Jim. He was educated at Morrison’s Academy before attending agricultural college in Edinburgh.
