Curious. The cruiseship Prinsendam called into Stornoway at around 7 am, but then left again shortly afterwards, headed for Kirkwall. Spent the afternoon putting put plants into pots and tubs to brighten up the front steps. The crocuses and daffodils had all died off and gone into tubers.

It was announced that "Hebrides - Islands on the Edge" will be screened on national television. Nice imagery, but with a terrible voiceover.
