The Comhairle is urging people to obey Scottish lockdown laws and not travel to beauty spots in the Islands.

Today's Guardian newspaper contained this photo with the caption ‘Loch Rog on Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. People will be able to drive to beauty spots from Wednesday.’

A spokesperson said “We would remind everyone that in Scotland it is not permissible to drive to beauty spots. There are also restrictions on travelling to the Islands and we must see these maintained for the continued health of our population.”

We are pleased to see that The Guardian has issued this with regards to the photo of Loch Ròg which appeared in yesterday’s paper.
