Tributes have been paid to a Lewis couple who were found dead outdoors in freezing temperatures.
Donald and Maureen Macmillan -
Local councillor, Philip McLean said: “As the tragic events unfolded I was shocked to learn that it was Maureen and ‘Boy.’
“The post office they ran was at the heart of the South Lochs community and everybody living locally has been into that office to buy stamps and collect parcels so they were known to all.
“They were also active in the Pairc Historical Society and the Ravenspoint Centre in Kershader and were at the forefront of fund raising for many local groups.
“You would see them at all local events -
“They will be sorely missed and my thoughts and prayers are with their family and friends at this very sad time.”
A spokesman for Pairc Historical Society said: “Words cannot express our shock as a community to this news.
“Maureen and Donald were so involved in our community that its hard to comprehend that we won't see them again.
“They were very active members of our comunn eachdraidh (historical society) since the day it was founded and Maureen has been treasurer for as long as I can remember.
“She also managed our Tional (local magazine) mailing and so many other aspects of our society and indeed both of them were a fountain of knowledge which we called on very often.
“We extend our sympathies to their many friends and relatives at this sad time.”
