THE community of Coldbackie lost a real character when the last remaining native crofter passed away on 19th December, 2011, at the grand old age of 90 and it is to the words in the hymn "Will Your Anchor Hold" that we said farewell to Johnny Macleod on 22nd December, 2011, at his funeral service in Tongue Church.
Johnny was born in the little community of Slettel about two miles along a rough hill track beyond Scullomie, one of six children of Christopher and Christina, and for most of his life had a strong association with the sea as a fisherman and a sailor.
