Stewart also enjoyed cooking, played guitar and banjo ukelele, and used his gift for story telling to become a favourite on the after-dinner speaking circuit, as well as a regular on the Fred McCauley Show on BBC Radio Scotland.

Former councillor Gerry McElroy said: “Stewart was everyone’s pal. He had that rare gift of humour and when you met him you left uplifted.

“He will be sadly missed and my thoughts and condolences are with the family.”

His friend Charles Keaton added: “Stewart was a genuine guy - always game for a laugh and careful not to offend anyone.
