A man who breached lockdown rules by travelling from England to camp on Loch Lomond had to be rescued when he got stuck on an island. The man, who had been camping on the west side of Inchtavannach, had come to Scotland to spend the Easter weekend. However, after becoming stuck on the island when his kayak paddle went missing, he called Police Scotland so that he could get back to his car which was parked in the nearby hamlet Aldochlay. Loch Lomond Rescue Boat were paged just before 2pm on Tuesday, and went to the man s aid. It comes as Scotland s Stay at Home rule was replaced by a Stay Local message from April 2, meaning travel regulations within mainland Scotland have eased slightly.

Local man John Taylor has taken on the duty of unofficial community warden for the Loch Lomond village while on secondment from Luss Parish Church, where he is the beadle. Working four days a week, with his salary being met by Luss Estates, John has already made a difference to the appearance of the area, according to residents. “As a neighbour of John’s I think that he is definitely the man for the task,” said villager Alyson Walker.
