This morning, a Wick supermarket shared seasonal goodwill through its charity campaign, Little Acts of Christmas Spirit.
Wick Coop manager Modris Karklins and the store s member pioneer Jamie Robson gave trolleys filled with festive food to kids in Keiss and the elderly people of Lybster through two local representatives from each village.
Treasa Hamilton, secretary of Keiss Primary School Parent Council said: We had spoken to Modris at the Coop and asked if they could donate treats for the children. It s been a very difficult year and we just thought it would be nice if we could give them an end of term treat.
