Loch Duich Primary School
The parents and children of Loch Duich Primary would like to thank participants for their assistance in allowing them to raise funds for the school at the start of Highland Cross 2010. They made over £250 on the day and quickly realised that the bacon rolls and coffee were very welcome for the walkers and helpers. They hope that the runners also enjoyed their wee energy boost of homemade pancakes and sweeties.

HIGHLAND CROSS 2011
Highland Cross 2011 will take place on 18 June 2011. The invitation list will open on 1st September 2010 and any application for inclusion in the list should be made in writing or by e-mail on that date.
