Secret Millionaire buys new Van for Uig Community Shop

Just been fwd'd this article in Scotsman Online.

Essentially a "Secret Millionaire" has purchased a new refrigerated van for the Uig Community ran shop.  I'm not sure how many community ran co-operative shops there are on the Island but this is probably the best known (Clachan in Leverburgh is another) but I give full marks, 10/10 to the philanthropist who did this.  Good on ya! :-)  Its refreshing to see somebody who obv has plenty money putting some of it back into their community.

Side thought: Wonder if they have generators to keep fridges/freezers going thro winter power outages (there's always one!), If not maybe somebody will buy one   (not me, I hasten to add... I have nowhere near enough money!) :-)
