Angus MacDonald: “The Glenelg ferry is both a valuable community resource and a little piece of history on the west coast.”

It is very concerning that the Highlands have some of the highest absence rates in the country.

I would hope that the landowner could be prevailed upon to recognise that this is not a significant commercial enterprise and extracting an ever-increasing toll is not just or practical.

I must say that to many these ancient rights look increasingly unjustifiable.

I’d also like to see Highland Council working more with families and communities to address absences.
