Woman swims to Western Isles

A 22-YEAR-old woman last night became the first person to swim across to the Western Isles.

Eilidh Macdonald swam the icy Little Minch between the islands of Harris and Skye in just over nine-and-a-half hours.

The crossing, with its strong and wild currents, is considered harder to swim than the English Channel.
