A bridge to Uist (or Harris!)

The Scotsman has some good coverage of next week's likely debate in the Comhairle about the possibility of a causeway between Uist and Harris.

Personally I believe it is a wonderful idea, and one that we should have done on the causeways to Berneray and to Eriskay.

The challenge will be to have similar tidal schemes for the replacement causeways in Uist, and let's see if we can make ourselves self-sufficient in energy within the next few years. The challenge will be to get the Executive to stump up the cash.
