Guest iain Posted July 7, 2006 I can only apologise again for the erroneaous news of his death last march but as we can see from todays news it seems to have been based on som,e valid info about his condition.Very sad to see him go.I watched one of his hillwalking shows recently and he seems to have been a great old guy.Will have to climb the 5 sisters of Kintail sometime soon in his memory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted July 8, 2006 tom weir definately died,aged 91 at a nursing home in balloch,his 86yr old wife survived him he was a legend!!! He probably died of a broken heart. A couple of months ago Grapian was taken over by stv and they stopped showing early hour repeats of 'Weirs Way' instead opting for 'The Mint'. It's some sort of Quiz thing thats on all night.
