Conner, from Coaltown of Balgonie, was well known during lockdown for wearing full Highland dress to play the pipes in his street every Thursday evening to support the NHS.
He also played at local care homes throughout Fife, and for NHS staff’s relatives outside their homes for birthdays and anniversaries when someone contacted him to advise of a special occasion. He played at over 100 birthdays and, sadly, many funerals.
