Was on the phone to friend in Wick who was telling me that the elderly man who runs Fairways is in hospital with broken bones.

Anyone know if the shop is still open? I had heard that his daughter has plans to turn it into something else- think her partner runs an oil company and that it might become an office. The other rumour was that it might be turned into a flat.......
