Reasonably nice day in Stornoway, with good sunny
spells but also spells of drizzle. Slightly milder today, with the
mercury at 14C / 57F, but continuing to feel cold in the northerly wind.
Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander MP, was in Stornoway
today to announce additional funding for Gaelic broadcaster MG Alba. On
attending a meeting on the subject of the independence referendum, he
also mentioned Harris Tweed - but I cannot find any references to that
in local news output. His visit to Stornoway is part of a Scotland-wide
tour, see https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ danny-alexander-to-take-the-case-for-stay ing-in-the-uk-to-all-corners-of-scotland
The small ship shown below is the Derenc, registered in Malta, which has come down from Iceland (Isafjordhur and Akureyri) via the Faeroes.
