Dick MacRae, who has died aged 66, was a weaver who learned his craft at the age of six, making dog leads on little table top looms in a west coast craft house. Today his rugs adorn properties from Canada to New Zealand, scores of them in the homes of traditional musicians whose tunes accompanied his labours in the weaving shed of his Plockton home.
