Helmsdale Harbour Day
Harbour Day – After days of rain and mist, even thunder and lightning in some places, the prayers of the committee were answered and Saturday turned out fine and warm for Helmsdale's Harbour Day and the annual visit of the Wick Lifeboat, Roy Barker II.
Lord Strathnaver was the guest of honour and, after lunch with the crew, he was asked to open the fete. He presented the lifeboat coxswain, Ian (Corrie) Cormack with a cheque for £4000 collected over the past year.
The Helmsdale Branch of the RNLI is very grateful to all those members of the public and local businesses who support them every year, especially those who regularly make their baking stall the envy of the north.
The sum raised on the day amounted to £1014.
