A cheque for £325 has been presented to the Highland Hospice by members of the Inverness Clarsachd Society and Highland Council’s Events Officer.

During the Inverness Winter Festival, members of Inverness Clarsachd Society Anna-Mairead Ferguson, Katie Masheter, and Anna Duff played each weekend in the Victorian Market to entertain Christmas shoppers.

Gerry Reynolds, Highland Council Events Officer said: “Although the intention wasn’t to raise funds for charity, the ladies found that as so many people were offering them money – they asked the Hospice for a collection tin and they received over £300.”

Anna-Mairead and Katie visited the Hospice to hand over the generous amount donated by shoppers to the Hospice and to play for the residents.
