Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance founder John Bullough dies suddenly as tributes paid to 'gentleman'
A dynamic force for good, John, who was one of the founding trustees and chairman of Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance , is understood to have died on Thursday night. He was 54.
“His dedication locally saw him receive an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday honours in 2020 for services to emergency healthcare and the community in Perth.“And not only that he also, being ex-army in the Scots Guards, was a king’s archer and he was the Adjutant for the Atholl Highlanders.“We really are so very sorry for their loss.”
He said: “The terrible news of our hugely popular and respected Adjutant has hit the regiment very hard. “The private social media of the regiment has naturally a very sombre tone just now and I can say with great certainty that the thoughts and prayers of the whole regiment are with his wife, Lady Georgina and son Herky.”
Vice chair Mike Beale said John had been involved with SCAA from inception and, together with his fellow co-founders, saw the charity grow into a major and integral part of the country’s emergency services network.“And over the 10-year history of SCAA he saw over £50 million raised, crews responding to nearly 5000 call outs and thousands of lives saved or impacted upon.
“Being a volunteer Police Officer has given me huge pleasure over the past 13 years. It is a great privilege to work alongside my full time colleagues to keep people safe in Perth and Kinross.
