It’s with a heavy heart that I’ve decided to step away from pigeon racing and the North of Scotland Federation. This has not been an easy decision, as the sport has been a big part of my life for many years, and I’ve met some truly wonderful people along the way.
Unfortunately, due to growing work commitments, the travel involved, financial pressures, and the politics that can sometimes surround the sport, I simply no longer have the time or energy to give pigeon racing the attention and dedication it deserves. Over the years I’ve spent a small fortune on the sport — but it’s been spent with passion and commitment, and I have no regrets, as it’s brought me many great experiences and friendships.

I would like to sincerely thank all the members of the Deveron Valley Club and the Fraserburgh Clubs for their acceptance, encouragement, and friendship over the years. Your support has meant a great deal to me and made my time in the sport all the more enjoyable.

As I step away, I do have quite a bit of pigeon equipment that I’ll be looking to part with, so if anyone is interested, please feel free to get in touch.

I’ll always look back fondly on the memories, the races, and the camaraderie that make pigeon racing so special. I wish everyone continued success and good health for the seasons ahead.
