..leaving the rural areas, please put the lights out.
The lights are going out all over the islands, as part of the Budget cuts.
Other than the various 'hoods in Stornoway (and Parkend) you'll need your torches if you go out late at night.
Drive carefully........

They've been switching off all the streetlights in Point from 11pm or so for as long as I can remember.
Anon 3:02. Good thing too. The last thing that the civilised world wants to be reminded of is that Point still exists.
In Winter, in mawland this will mean the street lights will come on at 9am and go off again at 4pm.
"The Country" now officially start at Olivers Brae and Labost.
About time they put them all off - it has been the ruination of ruith na h'oidhche
Here is the answer to all the most recent posts.
Hold the gay marriages on North Rona. No street lights. Set the Niseachs free with clubs and sharp knives.
SNH have a video camera attached to a guga and sell this via YouTube.
After all the tribulations with street lights, gugas, rioting and deaths in our cities, we should be grateful that Kevin Macneil's marriage can still go ahead. Publicity seeking eejits!!
About time too..
Those of us who are chronologically challenged will remember the days when street lights were only for the cosmopolitan softies of Steornabhagh.
Us hardy souls in the rest of eileandom had to make do with torches. Back in the day, behind every house door as a strategically placed flashlight, alongside the ubiquitous pair of wellies.
Aaaaaah. Halcyon days, halcyon days.
Maybe it's doing away with hardiness that torches gave us is just kind of thing that has broken all our social structures to the extent that the 'yoof darn sarf' have been complaining about 'a lack of opportunity, innit'. Or is that a link too far?
The Labour Party allowed this financial mess to happen and we pay the price. They just want to keep us in the dark.
