Strathmore cricket and rugby clubs have led tributes to local sporting figure and photographer David Potter who has died aged 78. He served Strathmore Cricket Club with distinction for many years and became a familiar face throughout that sport in Scotland via many different roles. In recent years, he was Strathmore Rugby Club’s official photographer. He took great pride in documenting the men’s first team winning the Arnold Clark National Four title just a few months ago.
