Toast & tea - Scruff

Tea drinking turned to toast making as we two off-Eiggers celebrated the life and times of Scruff. Back on our island, others we love buried him in the dark earth of the place this son of Glasgow had long made his home.

A man of huge heart, tall tales, gallous front and kind, caring back. The biggest of fish, the most extreme of experiences and the longest list of "done thats", "been theres" and "I know a guy who can get yous" are the fondest of memories that come quickly to mind. But greater than all these is Scruff as a prouder than punch father, a cat who got the cream husband.

A life rich in its living and desperately sad in its leaving.
