Hebrides News

Gales, rough seas and a high swell are expected to impact on Western Isles ferry services over this week.

On Sunday, services were disrupted for a third consecutive day.

A forecast gale for later prompted many skippers to sail early and get passengers to their destination before a gale set in properly.

The Lord of the Isles departed Barra at 4am, calling in at Lochboisdale on route to Oban. The outbound run will stop at Castlebay tonight, cancelling tonight's Lochboisdale leg.

The Lochmaddy ferry service is cancelled all day.

The MV Hebridean Isles voyage from Skye to Harris is departing one hour earlier before the sea state worsens. The inbound run also left before the scheduled time.

The Ullapool to Stornoway service is to depart 30 minutes ahead of schedule on Sunday evening.

The Stornoway freight run is cancelled tonight.

Adverse weather on Monday morning may disrupt ferry services.
