Hazel was a clerk to the gathering between 2002 and 2017.
John Gibson was Braw lad himself in 1974 and went on to serve as a chair of the Gathering.
Carolyn Stewart was an attendant in 1965 before becoming the first female chairperson of the Gathering in 1985.
She served two further terms as chair during her 43 years as a continuous presence on the committee.
