As guests were treated to prosecco and canapés on arrival – before enjoying a four course meal including haggis, Scotch beef and a delicious whisky and white chocolate parfait prepared by the Drumossie chefs – the event also raised a total of £1000 for mental health charity Mikeysline.

As well as ladies in their best evening dress gentlemen attending the swish event opted for black tie and kilts, with many also donning their best tweeds in keeping with the evening’s theme.

Tables for the event were decorated with equally appropriate props for the country pursuits-themed evening, including shotgun shells and feathers.

Once the food was out of the way partygoers danced the night away to the sounds of live band The Caveman.

Tickets for the evening affair were £60 a head, contributing towards the great amount raised for Mikeysline.

Although based in Inverness it provides mental health support for people in need across the Highlands.

CEO of Mikeysline, Emily Stokes, was grateful for the event.

"We are delighted and really grateful for the fundraising efforts on behalf of Mikeysline and everyone who supported their fundraiser," she said.

"Events like these help not only to raise crucial funds, which enable us to continue providing our services, and extend our reach further, but also help to raise wider awareness of Mikeysline. A huge thanks again from us all at Mikeysline."
