William Heughan at the MacRobert Estate in later years

William died suddenly at the age of 78 at Douneside, but his memory lives on.

He set up the William Heughan Associated Special Trust to remember his beloved home town of Dalbeattie for the benefit of the young and elderly residents and community projects.

William Heughan would be so proud to see a wonderful new school for Dalbeattie’s young people and would hope that his enthusiasm for music, singing and the art of acting would fill The Heughan Hall with the joy of performance and, of course, applause!
