Scottish town in Dumfries and Galloway
Richard Baines, 60, the curator of Logan Botanic Garden, has died while walking near his Mid Kelton home amid Storm Boelo. He is remembered for expanding Logan’s plant collection and leading international fieldwork. The garden is part of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
Storm Boelo has caused widespread disruption across Scotland, with power outages, transport failures and flooding persisting. Officials warn of more unsettled weather as a new low-pressure system approaches.
