TWIN brothers William and John Grant have been recognised as among the longest-serving council employees anywhere in the UK.
For the past 50 years, they have served with the local authority’s roads department, operating from the Dava depot between Forres and Grantown-on-Spey, just two miles from where they were born.
They have been presented with long-service awards at a meeting today (Tuesday) of Moray Council’s policy and resources committee.
The brothers, now aged 67, began their careers on the same day – April 9, 1963 – serving the former Moray and Nairn Joint County Council.
For five decades, they have maintained and cleared the A940, a road they now know like the back of their hands.
The twins were responsible for helping to keep the route – often affected by drifting snow – open in winter.
