‼️UPDATE: To view lots go to the Dingwall Mart Website and click Online Bidding.

Really looking forward to being part of this event on Saturday at Dingwall & Highland Marts Limited. We have donated 2 x 6 month candle subscriptions to help raise money for a local charity who work tirelessly to help and support people from across the north of Scotland to access therapies that improve health, wellbeing, and quality of life. The Oxygen Works

Bidding is now open so why not take a look at some of the amazing lots available and see if something takes your fancy. All money raised is being donated to charities big and small.

In person and online bidding will also be in full swing on Saturday 16th at the event.

As Dingwall celebrates 800 years as a Royal Burgh, we at Dingwall & Highland Marts Ltd are proud to carry forward a tradition that has defined the town for centuries.

From its Norse origins as a “Thing” — a gathering place — Dingwall has always been about people, markets and trade. The historic trysts and markets brought folk from across the Highlands to buy, sell and do business… and that same spirit lives on today in our sale rings.

But Dingwall’s influence stretches far beyond the mart…

⚽ Colin Bain Calder – a Dingwall man who helped shape the early days of football in Argentina, taking a piece of the Highlands to the global game.

🎖️ Hector MacDonald – “Fighting Mac”, one of Scotland’s most famous soldiers, whose name is still spoken with pride.

👑 Macbeth – with strong historical links to the area, tying Dingwall into one of the greatest stories ever told.

⸻

To mark this incredible milestone, we are hosting a Grand Charity Auction on Saturday 16th May
🕚 Sale starts at 11:00am

We invite you all to come along, soak up the atmosphere, and most importantly — get bidding.

👉 Incredible lots
👉 Unique, one-off experiences
👉 Generously donated by local businesses & individuals

This is your chance to bag a bargain while supporting multiple fantastic causes.

From ancient trysts to today’s marts — Dingwall has always been about coming together.

Let’s make this one to remember.

Check our website & social media as we continue to add new donations in the run up to the auction

The boys are ONE!! 🥳

Still just as adorable as the day they came home. 😍The way their wee personalities have grown over the last 12 months has been such a fun watch. Rebel came very timid and quiet, Guiser very cuddly and interested! 😅

Let’s just say they have well and truly found their voices and love company, cuddles and to be the centre of attention! 🐐

Happy Birthday Boys! 🥰

We just adore this tree each year when it comes into bloom. In its original culture, it symbolises an appreciation of fleeting beauty—essentially, a reminder to live in the moment.

The lighter bloom shifting from pink to white represents the age and wisdom held within the tree, and all the passing moments it has witnessed.

I’ve never really done a personal introduction as Fergie boy is the star of the show 🐾, but I’m Sandie 👋 and I started CFTC about 3 years ago with one goal in mind.

I decided I didn’t want to go back into employment, I wanted to work from home offering a story led product which would allow me to be around for my family lambing, without worrying about leaving projects incomplete or not having enough holiday days available.

Naturally this is within reason – website orders, subscriptions and wholesale still run as normal – but I don’t attend or commit to events during this period. This, for me, is the perfect balance. 🤠

Lambing fields, with a bit of making and boxing-up in between.

Thank you to everyone who already knew who was behind CFTC, and to those who didn’t but followed along and supported anyway. 🫶
