Dunvegan's nursery children and primary school pupils received an award of £1000 from a special Covid-19 fund set up by Falck Renewables. The funds were used to buy a parcel of fun for 52 local children, to help them (and parents too!) to cope with lockdown.

Each parcel included paints. coloured paper, playdough, memory cards and a sheet with links to online resources. Mali Messent of the Parent Teacher Council said: "One of the big hits is a book and online resource called the Hebridean Handbook. It's specifically aimed at children in the Hebrides and it is a bilingual field guide and activity book to flora and fauna found in the our area."

Mum Karen Campbell said her son Ollie was delighted with the goodies and posted a picture of him to Facebook, surrounded by the contents of his parcel.
