"Having spoken with them earlier this year and explained how tough fundraising is just now, they said they wanted to help.
"They have a yearly whisky auction and this year this will be in help of Maggie's highlands, which is absolutely wonderful.
"We'd be really grateful to anyone who has a of whisky or gin in the house and are kind enough to donate it for the auction.
"We hope to raise somewhere in between £3,000 and £5000 if all goes to plan. This is a really kind gesture that the Mart are doing for the charity.
"We are also very grateful to AVVA Scottish Gin, who are sponsoring the auction."
Anyone with a bottle can take it to Maggie's Highlands centre at Raigmore Hospital, or get in touch directly with the Dingwall Mart.
