Inspired by Dad
Nick Morrice shared photos of some old issues of The Great Outdoors, unearthed after his father’s passing. Here, he and his siblings Jack and Natalie share a beautiful tribute to their dad…
In July 2022, we lost my dad Alan to cancer shortly before his 78th birthday. When clearing out his house in Aberdeenshire this year, my siblings and I uncovered a stash of his treasured walking memorabilia including a few issues from 1987 and 1988 [below right]. Dad was a nature lover, avid walker and professional artist all of his life. His works in oil and watercolour often featured the many humble peaks, and the atmosphere of rural Aberdeenshire. Having his artworks of the place we grew up is a rare privilege!
