A 999 Police Scotland call handler’s lack of geographical knowledge surprised a Campbeltonian who did not want to be identified.
During an emergency call last Thursday, the call handler asked: ‘Is Campbeltown in Glasgow or Edinburgh?’ The Campbeltonian, already in a state of shock, said: ‘No, it is on the Mull of Kintyre.’
The call handler replied: ‘Is it a town on the Mull of Kintyre.’
