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.

Pet Fraud: Dogs and parrots advertised for sale but never sent. Pic: © STV Residents in the Western Isles are being warned about an online scam involving the sale of pets. A fraudster has been using the address of an unsuspecting family in Tarbert, Harris, in his adverts. Adverts in the name of Mr R Miah or Hans Gorteng for the sale of dogs or parrots are posted on various pet websites, including one called Bird Trader.

Islands face electricity bill ‘discrimination’

on April 18, 2012 Total Views: 30 Daily Views: 0

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. Energy industry regulator Ofgem has been reviewing transmission fees paid by generators to connect to the national grid. But Mr Ewing said the proposals could see power generators in the Western Isles paying 77 times the fees of those in the south west of England. 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.
