The guests sat down to a full three-course meal cooked by Win's daughter-in-law Stella who, with son Dave, runs Meall mo Chridhe, a local restaurant, followed by speeches from Win and Dave. A thoroughly good time was had by all.
There are now seven people within West Ardnamurchan who are over ninety, some 2.8% of the local population. This is a remarkable figure when put against the Scottish national average of 0.6%. The credit for the fact that we have so many fit and happy senior citizens out here goes at least in part to the community as a whole, which has traditionally been very caring of its older people, but it is also a reflection of the success of the local policy of keeping people in their homes, supported by a system of trained carers backed up by our District Nurses.
