Minister says farewell after 52 years' service
Wick minister the Rev Alistair Roy brought an era to an end when he bade his official farewell to kirk and community at the weekend.But they didn't let him go without due recognition of his outstanding contribution to both during a remarkable 50-plus years in the same charge, Bridge Street Church.
Mr Roy, who has retired with his wife Jean to the Kingswells area of Aberdeen, is believed to be unique in Church of Scotland history, having spent over half a century in the same charge and dedicated his entire career to it. He was licensed in April 1952 and ordained three years later after a spell as an assistant at Brechin Cathedral.
