The auction of a night's stay at a Wester Ross hotel has boosted the coffers of a charity offering lifeline care.
Tain funeral director Alastair Rhind accepted £310 for Macmillan Nurses from Morris M Downie, Grand Superintendent of the Provincial Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Ross and Cromarty, as the result of an auction of a night's stay at the Lochcarron Hotel, donated by the proprietor, Niven Patton.
The successful bid was made by James Macdougal, within the Royal Hotel in Tain, where a celebratory dinner was held by the royal arch chapter marking 100 years of freemasonry.
