Take a look at this article, you can see a Photo of Mary Lamb accepting a check for clan Lamont. Good job Mary !!!

The end of this particular story is the start of another one – life’s daisy chain.

Maerk, the shipping line owning the 6 ships on lay up in Loch Striven, completed on Monday 26th April 2010 an action in planning since November 2009.

The company hosted a reception on board the ships for 17 local charities and organisations in the communities around Loch Striven. These were to share funding from the company which included a donation from Maersk and the location fee paid to the company by the BBC for filming its new sci-fi CBBC series, Mission:2110, aboard the ships.

Formally, the heart of the event was the presentation of the cheques. Actually its heart beat somewhere else – being in company and on the raft.

Very good indeed!  Obviously Maerk has gone the extra mile and then some to make ammends for something (the positioning of the ships) they had nothing to do with.  It makes one feel good that there are still major corporations out there who are willing to work with folks to improve a situation.  We can only hope that the situation resolves itself soon enough so the daughter of the family on the opposite shore can enjoy her life once more.

On a related subject: Hey George, are you offering a clan discount on beef?

George Young from Ardyne Farm, with his wife, is the last major dairy farmer in Cowal – and has gone along with his son’s recent decision to get out of the industry and concentrate on beef cattle. The price paid for milk now means that dairy farmers are effectively working for nothing. Youngs’ milk had gone to the Rothesay Creamery now slated for closure.

This was in the article you posted the link to in regards to what Maersk is doing for folks on either side of Loch Striven.
