It was with sadness that I heard recently of the death of two Scottish priests I knew well.
Rev. Dr Michael Purcell, a priest of the archdiocese of Edinburgh, passed away on October 18, 2013; he was one of my lecturers in the School of Divinity at New College in Edinburgh and I came to know of his passing through the college newsletter.
The other priest is Rev. Michael Milton, who was priest for the diocese of Dunkeld; I spent three years in the diocese and met him several times. Canon Milton died on April 29. Lord grant them eternal peace.
