TRIBUTES were paid to a "dedicated father and farmer" who was found dead after losing a long-running land dispute, as more than 400 attended a service in his memory.
Father-of-four Andrew Riddell, 52, was described as a great family man with many different skills, interests and talents, at the gathering inside a packed Yester Parish Church in Gifford, East Lothian.
An avid skier and hillwalker, Mr Riddell had been an award-winning student and golf champion. He also had a love of astronomy, and regularly attended observatory lectures.
