Colonsay

Some services to Islay and Colonsay have already been cancelled in anticipation of the severe weather.

Keir Johnston, 39, pinned his partner Grace to the ground and choked her during a row at their home on the island of Colonsay in Argyll and Bute in March 2022, the High Court in Glasgow was told.

CalMac chief executive Robbie Drummond and operations director Robert Morrison will attend the meeting, as will a number of representatives from groups such as CalMac Ferries Communities Board, Colonsay Lifeline Transport Group, Arran Ferry Action Group and Tobermory Harbour Association.

CalMac cancelled sailings from Oban to Castlebay and Colonsay as well as those from Mallaig to Armadale, Oban and Lochboisdale and Small Isles.

CalMac sailings to Uist, Colonsay, Coll and Tiree have been cancelled for the remainder of the day due to the windy conditions.
