THE FERRET: Pollution of West Highland loch under investigation

THE FULL, EXCLUSIVE STORY IS ON THE FERRET WEBSITE TODAY

Author: Billy Briggs

An investigation is under way into a pollution incident at a West Highland loch which locals have described as an “ecological catastrophe”. 

Fishermen who operate at Loch Hourn raised the alarm last month after finding their catch included dead prawns, worms and other creatures – all of which, they said, smelled strongly of bleach.

The full scale of the damage is not yet known but a local group told The Ferret “this is not some minor incident but in reality something closer to an oil spill”.
