Nice one! [March 03]
Congrats to Iain Macleod for topping the poll in the local Stornoway Trust elections. Iain, who has served for the last 20 years on the elected board of the community owned estate, polled 1,325 votes. He's also had a ten year long stint as chairman from November 1989 till December 31, 1999.
Well done, our civic-minded boss! He’s obviously a popular guy on both sides of the counter. :)

Ria Macleod and Douglas Inglis have both returned from their arduous university studies and have come straight to work at Charley Barley's. Is it dedication to the cause or are they both hard up?

Making a welcome return to the port of Stornoway is the Marine Coastguard Agency's tug, Anglian Prince. The vessel is on stand-by in the Minch over the winter and has patrolled the waters around the Western Isles each year since 1998. As usual, the crew were keen to be reunited with their favourite local produce!
