When a party turns into a beach clean.
Youngsters on Friday evening June 29 helped in a spontaneous clean-up on Ganavan Beach by filling a large blue sack with empty cans, plastic bottles and food wrappings.
Visitor Hilary Barker from Callander, said: ‘I arrived at the beach and was saddened to see the state of it with discarded litter, and invited the youngsters who were celebrating the end of the school term to join me in a clean-up. ‘They were all absolute stars and we soon had a huge sackful of rubbish and a very clean beach for visitors to enjoy. A ‘ll were very enthusiastic about the humpback whale seen three days previously in the Sound of Kerrera and were well aware of the damage that litter and plastic does to wildlife, especially marine life. It’s not very nice cleaning up other people’s rubbish, but better than leaving it to be blown and washed out to sea where it could bring a horrible death to sea birds, whales or turtles.
