The Convener, said:
“As an elected member of the Comhairle and throughout his life Callum Ian Macmillan was a determined and dedicated political campaigner. Callum Iain was a committed Councillor who took a keen interest in matters within his own ward and the wider community of the Western Isles, he was a member of a number of committees: Arts and Leisure, Education, Development Services, Policy and Resources and Transportation. In his professional career Callum Iain Macmillan held a number of positions at Lews Castle College, including commercial and marketing director. In his roles with the College Callum Ian prioritised the education of students alongside opportunities to further the economic growth of the Western Isles.”
