Kenneth McKay, former procurator fiscal and solicitor, died on January 26, aged 65.
Mr McKay, who was known as Ken, was born in 1947 and attended St Joseph’s Primary School in Blantyre and Holy Cross High School in Hamilton.
His love of music led Mr McKay playing in well-known 1960s folk group the Livingstones. The group were signed to EMI and released a studio album and a live LP.
The band travelled far and wide, including playing at the Playhouse in Dundee and the legendary folk club at the Jubilee Arms in Dykehead.
Mr McKay had various jobs over the years, including working as a furniture salesman in Justices department store and driving a milk float during his days as a student in Dundee.
However, having obtained a degree in law from Dundee University in the late 1970s, it was as a procurator fiscal and solicitor that he was best known in Dundee and Perth.
During this time, a court police officer, Tom McKenzie, became one of his closest friends.
Mr McKay lived in Dundee for many years where he was a regular at the Snug bar in the Hilltown. He also kept up his interest in music, playing in the Taysiders folk group with his great friend Jim Craig.
He was twice married, firstly to Maureen, with whom he had two children Marcus, now an advocate at the Scottish Bar and Catriona, who is a professional musician in the folk tradition.
After his divorce, Mr McKay married Carol and lived in Perth in his latter years. Mr McKay became ill in late summer last year and died on January 26.
He is survived by his wife Carol, his two children and his grandchildren Miles and Juliana McKay.
The family would like to thank the many people who attended Mr McKay’s funeral for their support.
