Council seeks aid as beached whale blows hole in finances

13 August 2008
 
Highland Council is in discussions with the Scottish Government over recovering the costs of removing the carcass of a beached whale.

The council commissioned specialist contractors to remove the whale at Alturie Point near Inverness last Thursday. The remains were transported to a plant at Keith in Moray where they were cut into pieces and incinerated. Neil Gillies, Highland Council’s Director of TEC Services said: ‘I would like to thank everyone involved in this operation, especially the residents of Alturlie Point for their patience while the process was going on around their homes.’
