A member has passed away
It is with sadness that I inform the rabble of the recent passing of Scott MacMillan of Rathdown, username MacMillan of Rathdown.
I do not know Scott's family and was informed of the news in a Facebook group but Scott was a long time member of xmarksthescot.com. His knowledge of heraldry, etiquette and traditional highland attire were a valuable contribution to many threads.
I post to xmarks infrequently these days but thought the members would like to know, especially those who remember when he was most active on the forum.
Blessed be the Devine Judge of Truth. May Scott's memory be for a blessing.
Rest peacefully, Rathdown.

To me Scott was more than just another forum member, rather he was a friend, a true friend who would defend both his views and yours staunchly if he believed in your cause. He was the type of man who you wanted in your corner. The most generous and hospitable of chaps. I was talking to him not long ago and wish I had called again but that was not to be.
I will forever remember the time spent as a guest at his home. A better host you’d never find. I miss him already.
