Books Of Condolence Throughout Islands

Books of Condolence for people to express their sorrow in the light of the tragic events in America will be available for signing at locations throughout the Western Isles as from 11.05am tomorrow.

The Convener and Vice-Convener of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar will be the first to sign the Book of Condolence in Stornoway at the library in Cromwell Street. They will do so following the three minute silence at 11am being observed throughout the European Union as a mark of respect for those who died as a result of the terrorist attacks in the United States.

In addition to Stornoway Library, Books of Condolence will be available at Council offices in Tarbert, Balivanich, and Castlebay.
