Delays in the sun
Traffic was busy on tourist routes around Loch Lomond yesterday, with 40-minute hold-ups on the A82 between Renton and Arden. Car parks were reported full by 10am at beauty spots around the country.
Passengers faced a wait of two hours for the CalMac ferry from Largs to Millport, with a wait of 90 minutes for those heading from Wemyss Bay to Rothesay.
The high temperatures are officially a heatwave, after the country recorded highs of 25C on three successive days.
The Met Office’s Sarah Kent said: “The weather pattern is now blocked, which means it will be next weekend before we see any sign of a change. This is a slow-moving high pressure system out in the Atlantic and there’s no indication it is moving any time soon.”

The official designation isnât anything new for Tougas, though. She has been serving as the interim co-director, along with now Assistant Director Madeline Page, for a year. The two stepped into the interim positions in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and a funding crisis for the library.Â
âWe had the support of our board and we have this amazing, professional innovative staff, and they didnât blink,â Tougas said.Â
