Stay safe everyone 🙏🏻

Storm Éowyn is poised to bring one of the most intense storms in recent history to hit Scotland this Thursday, Friday and Saturday and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is urging those near the coast to be aware of the dangers the weather could bring.

The Met Office has issued red, yellow and amber weather warnings for wind and rain this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Strong winds are expected throughout Scotland on Friday, with gusts reaching 80mph across the central belt and more extreme gusts set to peak around 90mph in exposed locations such as island and coastal areas.

For those who plan to visit the coast during this time, the strong gusts pose a significant risk to safety and the lifesaving charity is urging the public to exercise extreme caution, particularly along exposed cliffs, seafronts and piers.

RNLI Water Safety Lead for Scotland, Michael Avril, said: ‘Storm Éowyn is set to bring potentially dangerous and uncertain conditions so we’re asking the public to stay vigilant.

‘The RNLI advises that you stay away from the water as conditions could knock you off your feet or wash you into the sea. It is not worth risking your life.

'If you find yourself in trouble unexpectedly in the water, remember to Float to Live; lie back in the water, extend your arms and legs and try to relax as best as you can until you get control of your breathing.

‘If you see someone else in danger in the water, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. If you have something that floats that they can hold on to, throw it to them. Don’t go in the water yourself – you could end up in difficulty too.’

As Darragh is causing conditions in our little harbour to be fairly unpleasant we will NOT be opening our harbour shop today, but we'll try again next Saturday if the storms allow....watch this space. Stay safe everyone....and tie those wheelie bins down!

Due to the weather, our seal weekend events at Pettico Wick are cancelled for this Saturday and Sunday - there’ll be a member of staff around, mainly at the Horsecastle bay colonies if the weather isn’t too severe!

It’s likely there will be a lot of displaced and wandering pups after these winds, so please remember the key things:

🦭 Grey seals are independent at 3 weeks old, the best thing for them is to be given space. Despite their helpless appearance, it’s perfectly normal for them to sleep on a beach and they dont always need help.

🦭 If it’s in a busy location away from a colony and it’s not possible to give them space, then please call the BDMLR on 01825 765546.
