Volunteers have cleared this mountain of rubbish, which filled two boats, from Handa Island Wildlife Reserve in Sutherland
Volunteers have disposed of two boats full of rubbish from a remote nature reserve on an island on the west coast of Sutherland.
Two boat loads of litter was disposed of by the group off Handa Island Wildlife Reserve in Sutherland, including items such as ropes, buoys and plastic items that can be traced to countries including Canada, the United States of America, France, Ireland and Spain.
The group spent most of the time cleaning the island’s southern beaches, as well as cleaning the beach at Tarbet near Scourie, the departure point for Handa ferry.
Handa Island Wildlife Reserve is owned by Scourie Estate and managed in partnership with the Scottish Wildlife Trust.
