Video: Bagpiping at full speed ahead to Harris  

 

27 June 2015

The 16-year-old of Eriskay is competing in the 400 metre relay at the Jersey event.

 

With the MV Loch Portain strike-bound in Berneray, the Scottish Salmon Company - Team Western Isles' main sponsors - stepped in to pay for the chartered fast boat to convey  the stranded Southern Isles' contingent to Leverburgh to met up with the island squad before jetting off to the games by chartered plane.
