A special thank you to the @WeeIsleDairy team on the Isle of Gigha for giving me a home for the night and a home cooked meal after our ferry broke down. And thank you to all the amazing locals here who stepped forward and helped all us stranded passengers in many wonderful ways.

Latest update I've just received from @ScottishEPA on more than 100 dead fish found in Linlithgow Loch. ā€œFollowing several reports from members of the public on 11th November of a number of dead fish found in Linlithgow Loch, SEPA officers attended the site the following morning. ā€œThere were no visible signs of pollution when officers visited, and water quality samples taken at various points around the loch have not identified a pollutant. "We are satisfied that there is no ongoing pollution incident within the loch.ā€
