Argyll teenager died at T in the Park… Just seven months after death of his brother

An Argyll teenager who died at T in the Park lost his brother less than a year ago.

Peter MacCallum, 17, who has been described as a “genuine, lovely person”, was one of people who died before the four-day festival had started in earnest.

His half-brother Craig Taylor died in November.

Peter’s family in the Lochgilphead area, including his mother Sheila Dixon, were too upset to talk about the tragedy.

Local councillor Donnie MacMillan said: “It is a sad occasion for the family to lose two sons in such a short space of time of each other.

“My grandchildren are younger and knew Peter better. They thought he was a very quiet and polite gentleman and very easy to get on with.

“It is a tragedy that this should happen. The whole of Mid Argyll is in mourning and send their condolences to the family.”

Police said on Friday that two people had died at the festival site before any of the acts had taken to the stage.

The other teenager who died, who was not thought to be known to Peter, was Megan Bell, from the north of England.

Police are investigating the possibility the deaths were drug-related.

Peter’s friend Ellena Davis said: ” I can’t believe we’ve lost such a genuine, lovely person.

“No words will ever express the true heartbreak we all feel, Peter was taken far too soon and thoughts are with his family.”
