My story about Graham Mackay on the front page of Friday’s Ross-shire Journal.

Graham, who was diagnosed with MS in June, is on a mission to raise £55k for potentially life-saving treatment in Mexico.

It was great getting to chat with Graham - like many people, I am rooting for him!

Here’s a picture from a few weeks ago with @hectormackenzie.bsky.social when one of our lovely readers came in to the office to collect their bottle of whisky, as the winner of our weekly Glenmorangie-sponsored crossword!

Getting to meet some of our readers is my favourite part of the week :)

October saw four suicides take place in the Highlands over just eight days — proving that Cromarty-based charity James Support Group is needed now more than ever.

But despite demand growing for the charity’s services, funding has been getting thinner, pushing the group into a funding crisis.

My front page of today's Ross-shire Journal:
