A NORWEGIAN yacht closed the A82 road last Thursday through Fort William.
The vessel ran aground near the new pontoons and was tied up to the fence along the dual carriageway to stop it capsizing. Police closed the road, until the boat floated on the incoming tide, in case one of the ropes snapped back across the road.
The boat’s captain said: ‘I don’t want to speak to the media as I have bigger fish to fry.’
