Robbie Shepherd Obituary, Robbie Shepherd has passed away

Robbie Shepherd Obituary, Death – The 87-year-old man, who was a proponent of the Doric dialect used in north-east Scotland, was born in Dunecht, which is located in Aberdeenshire. He served as a regular commentator for the Braemar Gathering, which was a Highland Games event that was attended by members of the Royal family, including the late Queen. Since the early 1980s, Mr. Shepherd has been the host of the show “Take the Floor.”

Nicola Sturgeon, who was the first minister of Scotland at the time, was one of the people who paid respect to him after he retired from the Scottish dance music show in 2016. She referred to him as a “broadcasting legend.” According to Steve Carson, director of BBC Scotland, Mr. Shepherd’s Take the Floor program has been an established part of the cultural landscape of Scotland for many years. He went on to say that everyone at BBC Scotland was deeply distressed to learn of his demise.

“Our thoughts are with his family and friends in Aberdeen, as well as the larger family of radio listeners all over the world who loved hearing his distinctive Doric voice as well as his enthusiasm and passion for the music he cherished so deeply,” When Mr. Shepherd first started working in radio, he described how he was first “slated” for his accent in certain circles and ridiculed as a “rough and ready country loon.”

In 2016, when asked to elaborate on the concept that guides his approach to broadcasting, he stated: “I like to think that I am broadcasting to a lady in the top tenement in Glasgow at the same time that I am chatting to a lady in a croft.” The effort done by Mr. Shepherd was recognized by the awarding of an MBE, and the Trad Music Awards also inducted him into a hall of fame for his contributions. In the course of his career, he has hosted television sheepdog competitions and appeared on the BBC Scotland program Beechgrove Garden. In addition to his job in broadcasting, Mr. Shepherd was a frequent commentator at many Highland Games, including the Oldmeldrum Sports and Highland Games.
