Jumma Mackay and Boisey Murray at their celebration at the Sango Sands Oasis Durness where they were presented with engraved tankards by  some of the locals.

 

 

Durness new sewage system has been completed. Work has been finished at the Smoo outlet and laterally at Sango. For nearly 2 years Scottish water vans and personnel, with contractors Morrison Construction have been familiar sites around the village. There was no official opening but an informal celebration of the departure of two of Morrison workers who have become friends with many local people. Jumma Mackay and Boisey Murray form Fortrose were presented with engraved beer tankards. A surprise celebration and presentation where they were given their gifts was held at the Sango Sands Oasis last Wednesday 19 July. The two men have practically been resident in the village for the duration of the work living in local rented accommodation and only returning home for the occasional weekend. John and Marty provided a selection of tunes with a specially written composition for the two. As usual with Marty and John the lyrics were true to form and hilarious but unrepeatable in print. Along with the contractual commitments connected to the sewerage installation they have been helpful in several community projects.
