Speaking on behalf of the whole family, Colins father, Jim McRae, said today "Colin was a great son, a loving husband to Alison and a fantastic father to Johnny and his big sister Hollie. Johnny was a great wee guy, spending every spare minute with his dad, and even at this early stage it looked like he had the potential to carry on the family dynasty."
The Clan MacRae Society UK has been proud to follow the achievements of Colin over the years, and send their condolences to the McRae family.
