If you could care to plough through these Threads - from 10 and 11 years - there are a load of stories/observations about the - Hon Miss Heather Galbraith - mostly useless horses - seemingly supported by a bottomless pit of cash, from somewhere.

In summary - and you contributed plenty.

I've never met The Hon Miss Heather Galbraith but I think I'd like to. Alongside a bottomless pit of cash she also displays incredible loyalty and an unyielding belief in her charge. My kinda girl....

I thought that you might have made a nice couple although she is even older than me:-)She has been very faithful to Linda Perratt. She must put a lot of money into horses as she has them in other horsey sports.http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/l

Queen of eventing Heather to receive an MBE for six decades of service
Delight as Hon Heather Galbraith, 85, has her hard work rewarded

Stuart Wilson  12 Jan 2016

The Honourable Heather Galbraith received an MBE in the New Year honours list. .

And it’s a fitting tribute for a woman who has steered one of the region’s greatest events for almost six decades.
The Hon Heather Galbraith (pictured) has brought international fame to the Barskimming horse trials.

Super-fit Heather, who belies her 85 years, is the daughter of a lord but isn’t one for standing on ceremony.

For she is the hands-on guru behind the Eglinton Horse Trials – only pre-dated by the iconic event at Badminton.

She has seen Olympic riders come and go to her Mauchline estate and once welcomed Princess Anne and her then husband Captain Mark Phillips for competition.

Miss Galbraith, whose father was the 1st Lord Strathclyde, regularly welcomes 500 horses to compete over her legendary trials.

She said: “It’s a huge honour to be recognised in this way and I must say I am very taken aback.
“I just love doing what I do up here and always have done. It is as much a pleasure to me now as it ever has been –
I designed our cross-country course and enjoy welcoming those who come to compete.

“I have 16 nieces and nephews who all love riding out on the estate and we keep around 20 horses of our own on so I’m still kept very busy and wouldn’t change it for the world.”

She's about 96 now.

^  Oops.

That was from 10 years ago !   

Blimey - She is 95

She must Odds On to get 'the Ton'. 

Can't believe she is stull going strong.

Great stuff, thanks to you both

Still

Super-fit Heather, who belies her 85 years, is the daughter of a lord but isn’t one for standing on ceremony.

Isnt one for standing on ceremony apparently.

That'll be the Honourable Heather Galbraith that they're describing? That appears accurate enough.

On the subject of Linda, she used to have Jock Brown, the solicitor and football commentator, over for late dinners regularly back in the days of Cree Lodge.
