Inside game-changing tunnel plans that could revolutionise Scotland's islands – from man behind Faroe Islands success
Andy Sloan, who is executive vice-president of engineering firm COWI, led the most recent Faroese tunnel project. TUNNEL VISION Inside game-changing tunnel plans that could revolutionise Scotland's islands – from man behind Faroe Islands success Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TUNNEL builder who revolutionised transport in the Faroe Islands has urged Scotland to see the light – as Shetland looks at swapping ferries for an undersea fix. The archipelago is looking into a new system that would serve five islands - including Unst, the most northernly British Isle. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Plans are being discussed that could transform Shetland Credit: Getty 3 From inside Eysturoyartunnlin, the most recent Faroe Islands' underwater tunnel. 3 Andy wants to see more ambition in Scotland. Andy Sloan, who is executive vice-president of engineering firm COWI, led the most recent Faroese tunnel project, making additions to the system with the world's only undersea roundabout, nicknamed the jellyfish. With 23 tunnels serving the country's 18 islands, the expert believes Shetland could be the first of many Scottish locations to get back on track by adopting a similar strategy. He said: 'It's fair to say that now there is a big belief that tunnels can be delivered in Shetland. 'I think if we deliver one in Shetland it will not be the last one in Scotland - because the benefits are tangible when you look at, not only the Faroe Islands, but Iceland and Norway as well. 'If we see the northern part of Scotland as being more Scandinavian, with a North Atlantic approach, then there's a completely normal mindset to invest in these types of communities. It's about archipelagos becoming more connected internally. 'It's not really an engineering argument, it's about whether island communities want to be connected. 'Arguably the Western Isles and Orkney may want tunnels - and it would be feasible - but whether they want it is for the local folks to decide.' Andy estimates a tunnel could take up to six years to be built - with half for the planning stages and the other half on the building process after breaking ground. His firm is currently advising Shetland Islands Council on the technicalities and financing of tunnels as part of a £990,000 feasibility study looking at connecting Shetland's main island Lerwick with four outlying isles – Unst, Yell, Bressay and Whalsay. The 'tunnel vision' public meetings with locals will continue as the council's consultants create an outline business case to look at the options in more detail. Faroe Islands: Travel Destination There are ferry services to nine islands, costing £23million per yet to carry around 750,000 passengers on 12 vessels. But the average age of the ships has topped 30 and ticket prices continue to rise, making it more difficult for passengers to justify their movements. The notoriously unpredictable Scottish weather is also a major problem due to the number of journeys that are cancelled throughout the year. Andy is adamant Shetland needs a more robust system for imports and exports and that's it's time to show real ambition. And despite having a population of just 23,000, Shetland is punching way above its weight - as its home to the UK's only spaceport and lands more fish than the whole of England, Northern Ireland and Wales. He said: 'What the Faroese have done is massively ambitious. They started with a vision that was underpinned by a consideration or expectation that it would be of benefit to the country and society to be connected to the economic hub of the islands. 'So I see parallels in that with Shetland where Lerwick is demonstrably the economic hub of the island. 'There's been lack of ambition in Scotland for sure and maybe it's time that we considered how we want to invest, protect and enhance the folk outside of the central belt and up the east coast. 'I've worked all around the world on tunnels and I do think people are quite passionate that we - as little engineers - could make a difference to society by building tunnels here and it's just about cajoling the politicians to to move in that direction. 'We're about to start a piece of work to advise Shetland Isles Council on how they should move forward through planning and design. 'There's no point building something that folk don't want. But if the council and the people of Shetland want this, then why not give them a hand to try and get it over the line?' Developments are expected next year once a detailed report has been filed. The question of finances is also an important one - with the belief that money borrowed to build the tunnels could be paid back by introducing tolls. Tolls were abolished on the Skye Bridge in 2004, and were ditched on the Forth and Tay road bridges in 2008. But Andy is in no doubt that tunnels are something that people will dig. It's also particularly important for more remote locations as better transport connections allow those living in smaller settlements to work in the economic hubs and prevent people moving away for a brighter future. He explained: 'Once you create a tunnel it's there forever. So you've not got repeated cycles of ferry replacement - and that has to be compared with a bigger upfront cost. 'Tunnels could be a real difference maker for lots of people and communities all over Scotland.'

Drivers told 'go early' on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday
Drivers told 'go early' on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday Millions are expected to be affected this coming weekend Traffic is likely to be heavy in many areas (Image: Steve Parsons/PA) Drivers are being warned over long delays on major routes as 17.6 million getaway trips by car are expected to take place in the UK over the August bank holiday period. The RAC, which issued the alert, urged drivers to set off as early as possible or 'be prepared to spend longer in traffic'. The South East and South West are expected to have some of the worst congestion. Some 3.0 million journeys for holidays or day trips are expected to be made on Friday by drivers looking to make the most of the last long weekend before Christmas in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the RAC said. This rises to 3.4 million on Saturday, 2.4 million on Sunday and 2.7 million on Monday. The RAC said an additional 6.1 million drivers are planning a leisure trip at some point between Friday and Monday. The figures are based on responses to a survey of 2,080 UK adults, extrapolated to the 34 million cars licensed in the UK. Transport analytics company Inrix predicted the M5 between Bristol and Devon will have the most severe getaway traffic, with the stretch from junction 15 north of Bristol to junction 23 for Bridgwater likely to see delays of more than 40 minutes on Friday and Saturday. Hold-ups exceeding half an hour are forecast on Friday on the M20 in Kent, which is a route taken by a large proportion of vehicles making Channel crossings via Dover or Folkestone. The warning relates to journeys from junction 7 near Maidstone to junction 3 (Addington Interchange), and from junction 1 at Swanley to junction 5 at Aylesford. RAC mobile servicing and repairs team leader Nick Mullender said: 'With this bank holiday being the last opportunity to enjoy a long weekend before Christmas, our study shows a real eagerness to get out and about with nearly 18 million drivers planning getaway trips. Article continues below 'More traffic on the roads will inevitably lead to more vehicle breakdowns, especially if the sun makes an appearance and people decide on the day to visit popular destinations. 'We're expecting major roads to airports and coastal destinations to be extremely busy, especially the south-east and south-west regions, which could end up bearing the brunt of most holiday hold-ups. Anyone planning routes through these areas should set off as early as possible or be prepared to spend longer in traffic.' Meanwhile, rail passengers are being warned that some major routes will be closed for engineering work as Network Rail conducts 261 projects across Britain. There will be no long-distance services between London King's Cross and Peterborough on Sunday, disrupting Anglo-Scottish journeys by LNER and Lumo on the East Coast Main Line. Article continues below Avanti West Coast will operate a reduced and amended service to and from London Euston. No services will operate between Birmingham New Street and Birmingham International between Saturday and Monday. Affected Avanti West Coast and CrossCountry services will be diverted, extending journey times, while London Northwestern services will run to and from Birmingham International only. Helen Hamlin, Network Rail's chief network operator, said: 'With the August bank holiday weekend approaching, we've carefully planned our engineering work to minimise disruption, allowing people to rely on the railway and make the most of the late summer bank holiday weekend. 'While the vast majority of the railway will be running, works on some parts of the network are unfortunately unavoidable, as we complete major work to support a better, more reliable railway that we wouldn't be able to complete in a normal weekend. So we're asking passengers to check their journeys in advance to ensure their route isn't affected.'

Frankly, the worst revelations are in Scotland's official statistics

Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Last week the most shocking revelations about Scottish politics came to light. It should leave us worried. It should make us angry. Based on hard facts rather than unsubstantiated tittle-tattle and tasteless rumours, the evidence cannot be treated lightly or dismissed as wild imaginings. I write, of course, about the Government Expenditure and Revenue (GERS) report for 2024/25 that deserved to be taken more seriously than competing publications claiming to be fact but having all the look of wild fiction. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This year's GERS read more like a horror story worthy of Robert Louis Stevenson (Jekyll and Hyde) or Edgar Alan Poe (The House of Usher) than a dry statistical perambulation around Scotland's public spending and tax revenues. Back in 2019/20 only five years ago – public spending in Scotland was £82.8bn, yet it is £117.6bn today. That is an explosive increase of 42 per cent in just five years. If the rate of spending growth had risen in line with inflation it would have been £103bn this year. The additional £14.6bn has gone on what exactly? The increase in public spending last year alone was by 5.5 per cent – double the rate of inflation – reaching a total per household of £44,882. These sordid economic facts should be the stuff of festival fringe dramas where tragedy and comedy of the absurd is employed to explore the scheming, evasion, and delusion of SNP politicians taking decisions that cost us millions that amount to billions. Plays such as 'Who pays the Ferry, man?' or 'Recycling for Dummies' would look at great schemes that even now are still costing huge sums with no end in sight. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Just yesterday the Scotsman reported exclusively the willingness of Scottish Government politicians to test our public finances to destruction. Having established (late as usual) their shiny new political toy, called the Scottish Benefits Agency, the wilful deviation from how things are done in the rest of Britain means the Scottish taxpayer could be on the hook for an additional £36 million. Why? By not seeking to collect overpayments or errors in benefit pay-outs. Of course, were the Scottish dis-Benefits Agency to not deviate from the norm then the obvious question would be why did we create our own new bureaucracy in the first place? So we can expect more of these policies, higher or different 'benefits' than what were paid out before, at greater cost. And all from a pool of money that the Scottish Government does not have. Remember, the Scottish public finances are spent up to the limit, with any budget underspends quickly reallocated to other departments rather than returned to the taxpayer as a rebate against the next year's taxes. The public borrowing that is available is also maxed-out – which is exactly why the no new borrowing powers should be allowed, it would simply be used to extend the line of credit to an even higher amount rather than more properly provide the headroom for emergencies such as pandemics or disaster relief. Why has it come to all this? The cast of characters is substantial, not just the current finance minister Shona Robison, but stretching back to Kate Forbes, Douglas Mackay and John Swinney – all have had a hand. Presenting their past claims and contrasting them with the reality would hardly make great Fringe comedy, for no one would be laughing – although the potential of exploring the well-being economy devised by Kate Forbes could provide many ironic jaw dropping moments. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Record drug-related deaths anyone? Scottish education standards in English, maths and science falling against those of other countries where we previously built schools and taught the masses? The Book Festival could interview past ministers on how it became possible for Scots pupils to gain English qualifications without having read a novel. We should all be deeply concerned about the waste of money, the rush to book international receptions, the offices we don't need, the staff complement that only knows how to grow and where redundancies are not allowed. The free bus travel with daily excursions to shoplifting centres for under twenty-fives. Improv stand-up could take a new form of spontaneous dialogue delivered by foregoing actors and picking participants from the audience to have a serious discourse around a staged kitchen table. Hard questions could be asked with the actors role-playing the politicians but only allowed to ad-lib their answers – as making it all up seems to be how it's normally done anyway. Likewise, documentaries on devolved disasters could be made for Film Festival premiers. What GERS tells us is that while the UK public finances are bad (and yes, I have written about that too) they are but a pale imitation of the depressing Scottish public finances. When devolution commenced the size of the Scottish state accounted for 43 per cent of the economy. Now the tartan behemoth is a swaggering 55.4 per cent of GDP before oil, falling marginally to 52 per cent when including oil revenues. It is unsustainable without a sponsor, and that sponsor just happens to be Westminster. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The message from GERS is simple but indisputable; until nationalists can show they can deliver a dynamic, vibrant, prosperous, revenue-raising, job-creating economy the path to secession cannot be found because it does not exist. Ironically, if Holyrood were to come to its senses by the electorate giving it an administration that seeks to live within its means by eliminating waste and allowing compulsory redundancies then the economy could transform. Taxes could be reduced, the economic activity could rise and Scotland's wellbeing would be happy again – just not the way the current politicians would like it. It could even make separation possible, but then why would we want to? Frankly, Holyrood is a farce presented as a pantomime – and no one can rewrite any differently.
