THE names of Lamlash-born PC Tony Collins and pilot David Traill from Lochwinnoch who tragically died in the Clutha Vaults accident have been be added to the Scottish Police Memorial.

Tony, 43, and David, 51, were killed on December 29 along with another police officer Kirsty Nelis, 36, and seven occupants of the pub, when the aircraft plunged through the roof of the popular pub in Stockwell Street in Glasgow.

In the permanent tribute, the officers’ names were added to the memorial at Tulliallan Police College, Fife, in a ceremony attended by Princess Anne and Police Scotland Chief Constable Sir Stephen House.

The memorial was established 10 years ago to honour officers who have died in the line of duty. It carries 255 names, with some dating back to 1812.

Chief Constable House said: “Police officers are committed to serving their local communities, protecting the public and keeping people safe.

“The officers we are commemorating today made an important contribution to the communities they served.

“It is right that we should honour them and that their names be added to the Scottish Police Memorial, a fitting reminder to us all of their contribution to the service and to Scotland. Our thoughts are, as always, with their families and friends.”
