Kirkton Cottage Fire, Fortingall, Scotland, 21st March 2025

I am a family friend of Marion Drummond (McDougall).

I have set up this go fund me to try and help Marion after she unfortunately lost her home of 67 years, along with all of her belongings in a devastating fire in Fortingall, Aberfeldy.

The fire began in a neighbours shed and very quickly spread. Unfortunately Marions home, garage and car were destroyed.

Marion lives in the village full time and has lost everything in the fire.

Thankfully the building itself was insured at the time, but with many insurance companies now refusing to insure thatched cottages or their contents, Marion was unfortunately unable to renew her contents insurance before the fire stole everything she had.

Anything anyone has to spare to help Marion start again would be greatly appreciated.

Kirkton Cottage was loved by so many.
