Compensation payments to islanders on South Uist enduring ferry cancellations are “not off the table”, Humza Yousaf has said.
The First Minister told MSPs he will “keep an open mind” on making payments, as Conservative leader Douglas Ross insisted there is an “urgent and critical” need for help.
Ross raised the issue after a third of the population of South Uist turned out for a protest after CalMac bosses cancelled sailings to the island for the remainder of June.
