Stornoway Harbour: Over 20 cruise ships due this summer. Pic: © STV A tourist association is "desperate" for multilingual guides as thousands of European visitors are expected to descend on the Western Isles during summer. More than 20 cruise liners are due to sail into Stornoway over the next three months and many have requested guiding services in a range of languages. The demand exceeds the present number of 27 island guides who can speak another language, resulting in an urgent call for more people with linguistic skills. Joan Morrison, of the Western Isles Tour Guide Association, said: "We are pretty desperate and really need people fluent in Finnish...

Islands face electricity bill ‘discrimination’

Generator: Arnish Point in the Western Isles. Pic: © STV Scotland's islands will be discriminated against to a "marked and grotesque degree" by higher charges for electricity generators, Energy Minister Fergus Ewing has claimed.

He raised fears this could impact on renewable energy projects in the islands, adding that it was in such areas that green energy was "most abundant". He spoke out on the issue in a debate at Holyrood, telling MSPs: "Charging for access to the electricity transmission network is an area of energy policy rarely spoken about but one that remains absolutely central to the future of electricity generation in Scotland.

Niall Macdonald: 'Bitterly disappointed' to delay trip. Pic: © NY2SY A charity rower has been forced to postpone a solo rowing challenge between Stornoway and New York. Niall Iain Macdonald says he is "bitterly disappointed" to have to delay the NY2SY challenge, but says he has no alternative. In an announcement made on his website [1] , the former TV and radio presenter says he is still "some way short" of the £100,000 he hoped to raise for a mental health charity. He says: "It has now come to the point where, even if I was to find the money still needed tomorrow, I just wouldn't have enough time to organise things to be ready in time for the proposed launch...
