The Mighty Men of Zorra Cairn is an important part of Zorraโ€™s Scottish heritage and a tribute to the men who helped shape our community. โค๏ธ

The cairn is in need of some much-needed repairs, and we need to raise $9,000 to complete the restoration.

Weโ€™re asking our community, local businesses, Scottish friends and anyone who values Zorraโ€™s history to help us preserve this special piece of our past for generations to come.

Every donation, big or small, will make a difference! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Please consider donating and sharing this post with your friends and family. Together, we can make sure the Mighty Men of Zorra Cairn continues to stand proudly in our community.

Thank you for helping us keep Zorraโ€™s history alive! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’š
