Argyll and Bute residents have been praised by blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan for the number of people in the community registered as stem cell donors.
To mark Blood Cancer Awareness Month this September, Michael Russell MSP revealed that Argyll and Bute was first in the Highlands and islands, and fifth of 73 overall in the country for having the most stem cell donors on the register.
Mr Russell collected a certificate on behalf of Argyll and Bute from the charity at a reception on Thursday September 20 in the Scottish Parliament.
