Suicidal Millionaire a Philanthropist to the Last

The details of recently deceased Sir George Bullough’s will have been released to the press. The majority of Bullough’s considerable fortune has been left to the Protestant War Widows of Scotland in the form of his shares in his family’s Bullough Cotton Mill Company. The shares were handed over to the charity which looks after and provides council to the widows left behind after the Great War. Whatever personal demons Bullough must have dealt with in his final days and despite his most ungodly end we must remember that at heart and even in death he was a good and extremely generous man.
