Maggie’s Highland centre fundraiser, Andrew Benjamin, said: “We are delighted with having £3000 raised for Maggie’s, the event went really well and there was a great atmosphere.

“We can’t thank Dingwall Auction Mart enough for their amazing support and Avva Gin, as well as all the people that donated the whisky, their generosity was just amazing from people in our community.”

Earlier this autumn, the Mart offered its space for a car booth sale to support the charity.

The same day should have seen a Drag night at Glen Mhor Hotel for a fun event to raise funds for Maggie’s , however organisers felt that postponing the date to next summer.

Mr Benjamin said that the event will instead run in June and all the acts expected are still lined up.
