this morning.
Barra and South Uist will not have a ferry service today as the storm is worse in
these sea areas.

as the Sound of Barra service is also cancelled. In any case, the mainland ferry
link to Uist is also suspended.

abate. Weather permitting, she plans to sail to Uig at 4pm and onward to Lochmaddy
where she will remain overnight. There will be no inward sailing from Skye to Tarbert
nor out of North Uist to the mainland today.
All sailings between Stornoway and Ullapool are cancelled today.
