Scottish Citylink is running a free shuttle bus service for music fans attending the Hebridean Celtic Festival.

The service allows festival goers to get to and from the main arena.

The bus picks up passengers from the MV Loch Seaforth ferry arriving in Stornoway and takes them to their campsites.

At night, following the main events on the castle green the bus follows a west side circular route via campsites to Barvas, Shawbost and Carloway,

The bus will also be running at various times during the day, including Sunday, to ensure fans can get to and from the ferry terminal.

Festival director Caroline Maclennan said: “This is a fantastic gesture from Scottish Citylink to provide a free service for our festival goers. It will allow people a safe and easy passage to and from the festival site and also help ease congestion in the town centre.”

David Frenz, operations director for Scottish Citylink Coaches, said: “We're delighted to be able to support this important event that has been the focus of the community's summer for more than 20 years.

“We hope that by offering this free of charge shuttle bus between the festival site and the surrounding towns and villages, we will be able to help festival goers enjoy their weekend of music and fun even more."
