Two charities have shared a £135,000 Christmas surprise from one of the Stewartry’s biggest employers.
Dumfries and Galloway Mental Health Association and Galloway Mountain Rescue team received the money from Kirkcudbright pâté producer Castle MacLellan after being nominated by their team of more than 100 employees.
The cheques were handed over this week when representatives from the charities turned up at the factory thinking they were pitching for funding – not knowing they would be presented with a sizeable sum.
