Family members pay tribute to Piperdam fire victim

Bob Douglas, Evening Telegraph. Fire at Muirloch Executive Lodge 3, Piperdam. Words by Calum.

The victim of a fatal fire at a luxury resort on the outskirts of Dundee had only just been released from prison.

The body of a man believed to be 26-year-old Jamie McLennan, from Aberdeen, was found in a burnt-out lodge at Piperdam Golf and Leisure Resort on Friday, 36 hours after the wooden building burned down.

Family members have paid tribute, saying he will “never ever be forgotten”.

Mr McLennan had last been seen getting into a taxi in Dundee city centre around 3.30am on Thursday.

He was staying in the lodge with friends, neither of whom were in the building at the time of the blaze.

Police have not ruled out foul play in connection with the fire.

Mr McLennan’s brother Levi has posted an emotional tribute to his sibling on Facebook.

He wrote: “Going to miss you so much bro, no one will know how I am feeling right now.”

Cousin Clarke McLennan added: “You will never ever be forgotten and we will never find anyone like you Jamie.

“Cousin brother best mate. Going to be a hard couple of days processing all this. RIP Jamie love you.”

His family said they were too upset to speak to the media.

Mr McLennan was jailed for three months in July following an altercation with police at T in the Park.

He began struggling with officers after they were alerted to his odd behaviour on the festival site.

He claimed to have been sexually assaulted and police restrained him in order to calm him down.

However, he became aggressive and threatened officers. He was then arrested.

He admitted brawling with officers when he appeared at Perth Sheriff Court in July but repeated claims he had been sexually assaulted.

Sheriff Kevin Veal jailed him for three months as he had only been out of prison for two weeks before the festival.

He had been jailed for five months in April after admitting headbutting a man and smashing the windscreen of an unmarked police car in Aberdeen.

Police Scotland forensics officers continued their investigations into the fire yesterday.

The probe into the cause of the blaze is being carried out by Police Scotland in conjunction with Scottish Fire and Rescue.

The lodge was a stand-alone property and no other lodges or buildings were affected by the fire.
