death of Colin Macleod

KILT STATUS

Earlier this month Colin Macleod, founder of the M77 protest camp Pollock Free State and Gal Gael, died last week of a heart attack. He was aged 39. Colin MacLeod, was a dreadlocked anti-motorway protestor who inspired a kilted clan of eco-warriors from their tree-top protest houses into establishing a Gaelic-based movement for cultural renewal in inner-city Glasgow. His cult status in the city meant that the police had to close the streets in Govan to allow 600 mourners to follow his homemade coffin and attend his funeral.
