Fahan woman is a top Scot

An Inishowen woman has been awarded a Scottish town’s top award for her work with the community and local charities. Georgina Duncan (nee Walker), originally from Carrowmullan, Fahan, was presented with Dumbarton’s Citizen of the Year Award for helping others in the community and for her generosity and fundraising efforts for charities. As well as being involved with local senior citizens groups, she gives her time to help charity through the café at Dumbarton Sheriff Court where she has been a volunteer for 15 years. Along with her colleagues, she has raised over £65,000 for CHAS (The children’s Hospice Association Scotland). The youngest of nine children, she left Fahan for Dumbarton 50 years ago where she met and married the late Jim Duncan. She has one son, William. She was presented with the prestigious award by Provost Denis Angew at a civic reception held in her honour in Dumbarton’s Town Hall.
