Today we celebrate the birthday of Firefighter David Cash from Kilchoan Fire Station, who has turned 70 today and is still going strong, having just passed his BA Refresher, what a fantastic achievement and I want to thank David for his steadfast commitment to his community.

Community groups in Dunvegan all decorated Christmas trees and the challenge is to guess whose is whose. Can you spot ours? It’s a tough one!
