Dingwall 'swap shop' set to benefit St Clement's special school in Ross-shire county town

PEOPLE living in and visiting Ross-shire's county town are being given the chance to pick up a bargain for a donation in the run-up to Christmas.

The "swap shop" run by Kevin Lamond – who has been given donated goods from as far afield as Dornoch – sits across the lobby from Sheila's Community Cafe in Tulloch Street in Dingwall.

Mr Lamond has previously raised funds for the St Clement's special school and will again be making a donation from what he manages to raise.

He said: "I'm trying to keep it going as long as I can. It will be open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10.30am to 2pm. The idea is that people can either swap something or take something and make a donation. There's no prices on anything.

"Items that can be found range from men's and women's clothes to children's toys and, at the moment, some Christmas stuff."
