Angus MacDonald: “I’d also like to see Highland Council working more with families and communities to address absences.”

The Glenelg ferry is both a valuable community resource and a little piece of history on the west coast.

This is the right outcome, and it is a result of the strength of feeling shown by residents, and by the military families connected to Cameron Barracks who made their concerns heard from the very start.

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.
