News & Events

Rev. Dr Howard Stone narrowly escaped paralysis or worse last week, when he accidentally came off his motorcycle while on his way to conduct a church service in Wick. He was flown to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, where he was fitted with a “Halo Vest” because of a fractured bone in his neck. Howard has been the Free Church Minister in Castletown, Caithness, for the past 18 years and has been a motorcycle enthusiast for decades. (Perhaps, having recently become a grandfather, he may have to reassess the risks!) We are thankful that he was spared further injury and pray for a speedy recovery. The vest stays on for three months.
