The Findochty community has come together in an incredible show of support, raising £1,000 in less than 48 hours to restore the beloved White Mannie.

The Crowdfunder campaign, launched earlier this week, surpassed its goal almost overnight, leaving organisers stunned by the overwhelming generosity of locals. “We never could have foreseen such an amazing response,” said a spokesperson. “It just goes to show how much the White Mannie means to Findochty.”

With the funds secured, repair work will begin as soon as the money is released from the Crowdfunder platform. The swift success of the campaign highlights the strong community spirit in Findochty, ensuring this cherished landmark will be preserved for years to come.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated – your support has made this possible! Stay tuned for further updates on the restoration progress.
