About Sandy

This site is dedicated to the living memory of Sandy McNair. Sandy was born in mid-Argyll in Scotland and grew up on Stroneskar farm, near Ford, with his brother Duncan and his parents Alasdair and Sheena. He went to school in the nearby town of Kilmartin and then moved to Glasgow in 1989 where he worked toward his B.Sc. in Technology and Business Studies at the University of Strathclyde.

Upon gaining a 1st class honours degree, Sandy worked briefly as an analyst for the Royal Bank of Scotland and then moved to London, joining Arthur Andersen as a consultant. When Andersen was later aquired by Deloitte, Sandy stayed on at the company and eventually rose to the position of director in Deloitte Consulting's Enterprise Applications division.

In July of 2004, Sandy married Fleur Sexton at Land's End, and in December of 2007 they had a baby boy, Ross Milo Alexander McNair. Tragically, Sandy suffered a fatal aortic aneurysm a few months later, on 12 March 2008. Returning home for the final time, he was buried by his family and friends at Kilmartin Church on Thursday 20 March 2008.

To learn more about the life and character of Sandy, please read the eulogy that was presented by Sandy's Best Man, Alasdair Macleod.
