A bloom at Loch Branahuie which flows onto Melbost Beach at the Braighe is potentially toxic, the council has warned.

People touching the toxic scums may experience skin rashes, eye irritations, vomiting and diarrhoea, fever and pains in muscles and joints.

Toxic algae have caused deaths of livestock and dogs.

Dog walkers using the beach should take care that their dogs do not come into contact with the scum.
