Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, has confirmed that Island Authorities, are involved in discussions, regarding any proposed amendments to travel restrictions, on ferries to and from the Islands.
The Comhairle is seeking clarification on eligibility for travel, as restrictions are gradually eased, with a preference for island residents and essential travellers, being the priority in the initial stages.
A Comhairle spokesperson said: “First and foremost in our considerations will be the safety of our communities.

We will continue to have discussions with Scottish Government and all interested parties”.
