Greenpeace protest

When we arrived in Cromarty yesterday and saw several police vehicles parked along the shore road, it rang bells that I'd heard something on the BBC news about Greenpeace activists occupying an oil rig.

Sure enough, the headline on the BBC news app first thing this morning was a report of another attempt to board the rig during the night. The coincidence for me was that my bedroom window at The Old Brewery looked out onto the very scene of the protest, though needless to say I slept through the whole drama.

Extra   -   All that was left when we had a walk along the shore this morning was this rather pathetic banner facing out onto the Cromarty Firth.
