An event with a Las Vegas theme raised thousands of pounds for Highland charities.

Celebrating Amy was organised by Gary Tuach in memory of his late wife, Amy from Muir of Ord, who died earlier this year after a battle with diabetes.

Speaking after the event, Mr Tuach said: “For me it was always about creating a memorable event to Celebrate Amy and I think we more than achieved that – we took Vegas to Inverness and had the best time together while raising a fantastic amount of money for local causes in our area.

“There are just too many people to thank but myself and Chloe are forever grateful to everyone involved and we are already excited about future events to keep Amy’s memory with us while continuing to raise money for local causes.”

More than 260 guests went to the event at the Drumossie Hotel, in Inverness, where over £30,000 was raised for Highland Hospice, Mikesyline and the Celebrating Amy Community Fund. A hospice spokesman said it was an incredible night.

Kenny Smith and Nicola McAlley were the hosts.
