Earl of Galloway Randolph Keith Stewart

We knew Randolph through his sister, Lady Antonia Dalrymple. We are saddened to hear of his passing. We always found him to be very gentle and kind, he loved coming to our house for dinner and a wee whisky afterwards. Randolph loved a gathering with people he felt comfortable with, he also loved to dance. We will
cherish our memories of him.

I have two of Randolph's beautiful paintings in my bedroom. Of all the paintings I own these are among the my favourites. Every time time I look at them I'm reminded of his gentle, quiet presence and unique artist's eye.

I am saddened to here of Randolph's passing. I knew him while he lived in Lothlorien community...he was indeed a character and someone who managed under very difficult early life circumstances to remain himself.

We lived by Randolph for many years and knew him as a fine, interesting, colourful, and distinguished man.

Randolph loved his homeland and heritage and was always willing to share it's history. Later, when we moved to Queen Street, Castle...

We have known Randolph for about 35 years when we lived next door in Corsock he visited on his bike or walking and would come in for tea and cake. Later when we moved to Castle Douglas, Queen St he moved in opposite us, and we carried on our communications and then we saw him regularly at Barlochan.
Randolph was a fine man, a great sense of humour, a brilliant artist, an adventurer, lover of the environment and a gentle man. Randolph will be sadly missed in his beloved Galloway.
