Volunteers at John O Groats have been busy putting the finishing touches to a new Viking-themed cutout photo board and outdoor play areas for children.
Money towards these latest projects was received from the Stroupster Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund and the John O Groats Development Fund which is generated from parking fees at the popular local tourist destination.

A Christmas toy appeal has landed a welcome boost of £1000 thanks to the generosity of a number of Scrabster-based companies.
After seeing a poster advertising the Caithness FM annual appeal for gifts, William Calder, of Scrabster Seafoods Ltd, decided he would like to do something to help.
The Boy Andrew was landing fish in Friday s auction and Andrew Bremner of the Bremner Fishing Company agreed to donate a box with the money raised going towards buying toys and other presents for distribution to local underprivileged children.
