Farmer and son killed in car crash

A close-knit island community was in mourning after three people - including a farmer and his young son - were killed in a road crash.

Dougald MacTaggart, 38, and his son Jamie, 10, died when their pick-up truck was involved in a four-vehicle smash near his parents' house on Islay.

A third man, Neil MacFadyen, 47, who worked on Mr MacTaggart's farm and was in the same vehicle, was also killed in the accident.
