The Stornoway Trust were pleased to unveil a new bench, Charlie’s Seat, near the River Creed mouth, in recognition of Charlie Nicolson’s many years of public service both in the Western Isles and in Moldova. Charlie Nicolson was a Trustee of the Stornoway Trust for 18 years and was latterly the Chairman of the Trust for six years prior to his retirement last year. At the surprise unveiling and presentation on Friday evening, the current Chairman Murdo Murray paid tribute and thanked Charlie for his many years of diligent and selfless service, which has spanned over two decades and extended to organisations such as the Trust, wider community groups, and to the people of Moldova. Charlie expressed his appreciation and surprise at the honour of having his own seat in the Lews Castle Grounds and wished the Stornoway Trust well in all the work of managing the Estate.
The bench, a single piece of elm, was carved by Stornoway Trust Forester, Iain Murray, from a windblown tree which fell near to the Shoe Burn.
