Passing of a Herioter

Thank you to Hugh Henney (1982) for bringing this news to our attention:

Jeff Stoddart (1952) has sadly passed away peacefully, in the Royal Infirmary Hospital in Edinburgh on Tuesday 1 April 2025.

Jeff was a very proud Herioter, a former Governor, a former pupil from 1946-1952, and a farmer, father, husband and grandad.

He recently celebrated his 90th birthday with his close family.

Jeff had a full and active life and he will be sadly missed by all of us.

Jeff's funeral will be held at Loanhead Parish Church on Tuesday 22 April at 12 noon. There will be a collection after the service for the RSABI.
