Postman leaves £637k to Forres elderly
THE ELDERLY in Moray are to benefit from a bequest – now worth £637,000 – left by a local postie and has lain dormant for over a decade.
When 89-year-old widower William Cameron died in 1982 the retired Forres postman left the bulk of his wealth to residents of a local old people’s home where he spent his final years.
But when the council-run Auchernack home closed down 12 years ago, the terms of his bequest meant the money could not be used for any other purpose.
