MacNab Challenge Success

Michael MacDonald, Halkirk, was successful in the MacNab Challenge yesterday. Derived from a famous 1925 book by John Buchan entitled "John MacNab" the challenge is to bag a stag, brace of grouse and a salmon, all on the same day. Michael raised around £2,300 that will be split between two charities;

Alzheimer's Scotland: The Couthie Corner, Thurso
Palliative Care, Dunbar Hospital, Thurso

Clarence Munro, pictured below, offered his land at Dorrery, Halkirk for the stag and grouse shoot and also helped Michael stalk the stag. Richard MacNicol, Halkirk, ex gamekeeper, assisted with the grouse shoot. Eddy McCarthy, River Superintendent, gave a beat on the Thurso River and Michel's brother, Grant, was the ghillie.
