Shelter from the storm

When the storm caused Tiree Music Festival 2015 to have to evacuate their campsite, the island community of Tiree opened their doors to welcome the wet, cold campers. Groups of young people were transported to a variety of locations, from individual homes to the school, airport and the church. The local Church of Scotland were pleased to be able to help, opening our church to the festival refugees. Rev MacLean said "It was a great opportunity for us to show our faith in action, providing shelter, warmth, food and drink for these young people, along with the rest of the community".

The photos were taken late on Friday night as the campers were settling down to sleep on the floor and pews of the church.
