Freuchie milkman David Pullar

David Pullar, who delivered milk to generations of residents in north-east Fife, has died aged 96.

As a boy, Mr Pullar grew up on the family dairy farm in Freuchie and was given a lift to Freuchie School on his father’s horse-drawn milk float.

At his funeral, as a fitting tribute, his coffin was taken to Falkland Cemetery on a dray pulled by the Balmalcolm Clydesdales.

After working for the sugar beet factory in Cupar, he went on to serve in the army, joining the 51st Highland Division Recce Corps.

On being demobbed he got back to work immediately, starting delivering milk the next day.

He sold milk in the Freuchie area for the next 35 years.

During the 1950s the traditional horse-drawn float was replaced with a motor vehicle.

His working day involved juggling delivering milk in the mornings and working on the farm into the evening.

Mr Pullar met his wife-to-be Mary, from Star of Markinch, at a village dance.

Outside work, he was a keen golfer at Falkland Golf Club and in previous years also enjoyed curling.

Mr Pullar, who was predeceased by his wife, is survived by his sons David and Archie, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
