Tragic twist of fate as man killed during Storm Boelo was hero of previous storms

Richard Baines, aged 29, has died after a tree crushed his car during Storm Boelo. Baines was previously recognised as a hero for his dedicated efforts to weather-proof several of Scotland's most precious botanic gardens in recent years. This tragic twist of fate has seen a man who spent his time protecting nature from the elements succumb to the severity of the storm, leaving behind a legacy of environmental preservation and botanical protection.
