BARRA’S police officers this week collected two awards for exceptional work, writes Aidan Donaghy.
The Barra community team won Team of the Year at Tuesday’s Scottish Policing Excellence Awards for supporting the island community after the devastating terrorist bombing at the Manchester Arena in May.
Tragically, teenager Eilidh MacLeod, 14, died in the attack alongside 21 others. Eilidh’s friend Laura MacIntyre, 15, also from Barra, was badly injured.
