Steve McVeigh aka Bugpiper

Hi folks,

In the course of some transactions on ebay, I received a message yesterday to tell me that Steve McVeigh died suddenly on Sunday morning.

I have seen his name mentioned on several posts in the forum although I am not sure if he was a member. That said, he was a fairly prolific seller of military and traditional highlandwear so I know a good many of the forum members will have either known him or have had some contact with him. Although I can't claim to have known him, I thought it best to post for the members who would want to know about this.

Thanks for sharing this sad news. I have purchased several UK military items from him over the years. Great products and he provided excellent service. Condolences to his family. He will be missed by me.

Wow. That is big news in the world of militaria. Thanks for the news.

Sad news, indeed. I've had a few positive dealings with him. I might be wrong, but wasn't he a relatively young man?

So sad to hear this news. I bought two kilts from him (a new 16oz Mackenzie and a reconditioned 18oz Gordon) and was toying with buying another in the near future. He was very friendly to deal with and his kilts are top quality.

Yikes! I wonder what happened. I too have purchased militaria from him on eBay and always had good service. I hope his friends and family are coping with this loss.

Hopefully it's not crass to pose this question so soon after hearing the news, but I wonder what will happen to his business and his inventory?
