the star the day he wrapped filming on season six of the smash hit show. The auction was being run in aid of ‘Finlay’s Fund’, an organisation set up to support Finlay Sangster, a young man based in Stonehaven where The Bay is located. Finlay lives with Cerebral Palsy, and the fund was set up in 2009 to help with his support needs.
The result was an amazing £2,500 raised for Finlay! £900 secured the original lot, with Calum securing a second signed bottle which also sold for £900! One of the bottles is on its way to the Faroes to Hanson Jógvan (owner of Gadus). Calum topped up the amount raided from the whiskey with the money donated in his shop for carrier bags.
Gail Sangster, Finlay’s mother, said:
“Calum’s kindness and the generosity of his customers has allowed us to support Finlay through the purchase of various pieces of equipment to support daily living and pay for private therapists to support physio sessions. Calum has supported and sponsored events, donated his bag charge and now he’s organised this exciting auction. We can’t express how grateful we are for the continued support and the genuine interest he takes in Finlay and his progress. We are so very lucky to live in such a fabulous town surrounded by the best community and the best fish and chips! I’m glad the bids came in from the Outlander fans as well as the whisky fans.“
Calum Richardson, Owner and Chef
at The Bay, added: “Finlay is an inspirational young man who’s achieved a great many things despite the significant challenges he has experienced in his life. At The Bay, we’re fortunate to be given the opportunity to regularly cater for film and TV sets, Outlander being one we’ve done a couple of times now. The team over there are really friendly, and that of course includes Sam himself. He was kind enough to sign two bottles of his amazing whisky for us, and we thought this would be a nice way to help raise some much-needed funds for young Finlay.
