Kevin Harrison.
The morning was spent visiting the Airport and the Radar station. The afternoon plan was to rove around the island.
An Tirisdeach caught up with them before they lunched at Elephant’s End with some of the island’s invited luncheon guests.
Mr. Neilson told An Tirisdeach “the purpose of the visit is to let the people of Tiree know that they have the full support of the Strathclyde force.”
The choice of helicopter was due to time limitations as well as accomodation issues. The Chief Inspector of Oban was also due to come over, but cancelled flights on Monday 22nd June meant she was unable to do so.
Mr. Neilson also stated that there is a training package in the pipeline for Tiree for Special Constables which would bring training to the island instead of islanders having to go to the mainland to pursue such a career.
