SNP MSP for Na h-Eileanan an Iar, Alasdair Allan, on Monday joined the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) organi -sation and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) for a boat tour of the wildlife around Eilean Chaluim Chille, near Keose Glebe in Lewis.
The organisations both work on various marine conservation projects throughout the Western Isles.
WDC collects marine mammal data in the waters around Lewis, aided with the support of a very active network of community volunteers, while the RSPB has undertaken a series of high-profile projects on the islands, including the recent Shiant Isles Seabird Recovery Project.
