‘Wonderful old lady’ Nan Doig, 102

‘Wonderful old lady’ Nan Doig, 102

A Perthshire resident has died at the age of 102.

Janet Doig, who was known as Nan, passed away at Dalnaglar care home in Crieff.

Born near Kirriemuir in 1912 to farmers David and Helen Doig, Ms Doig was the youngest of six children.

Following the death of her mother she moved to Balmuick farm, near Comrie, with her family at the age of 17.

In 1936 she moved again to Pitcruvie farm near Upper Largo in Fife, along with her father, brother Duncan and sister Jean, where she often welcomed summer visitors.

Her nephew Robert Thompson said: “Every summer they had five or six nieces and nephews to stay for a month.

“She enjoyed having all these young people around and joined in their activities whether they were splashing in the sea at Lower Largo, climbing Largo Law for picnics, playing rounders or ‘kick the can’.

“When she took the children to church, people looked at her with sympathy but she quickly informed them that they weren’t hers!”

The family returned to Perthshire after the war, spending a few years at Dalchirla, near Muthill, before taking over The Straid farm at Blairnroar near Comrie. There she lived and worked with her brother Duncan and sister Jean for 40 years.

She took an active part in Blairnroar Rural and helped them to win the Strathearn Silver Salver in 1989.

She enjoyed acting and reciting humorous poetry, remembering the words of those poems until the day she died. She loved Scottish music and country dancing.

She never married, but dedicated her life to looking after others.

After her brother died she moved to Glebe Road in Comrie with her sister.

Sister Jean died in 2001 and Nan managed to live alone until she was 101 when she moved to the Dalnaglar home.

Robert added: “She drove her own car until the age of 91 and then looked forward to getting out for trips in a car with family and friends until a week before she died.

“She was a wonderful old lady and will be sadly missed by her nieces and nephews who visited her regularly when she lived in Comrie, especially myself Bobby as I was known to her as she enjoyed going out in my car every Monday afternoon since moving to Dalnaglar care home.”
