If a tap is leaking, it may simply be a loose valve or washer. However, if these appear to be sufficiently tight, you should contact a plumber, who will be able to investigate and rectify the leak. Do not attempt to fix leaking or damaged pipes, always call a plumber in straight away.
Isle Of Scalpay
Scalpay is an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Scalpay is around 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) long and rises to an elevation of 104 metres (341 feet) at Beinn Scorabhaig. The area of Scalpay is 653 hectares (2.52 sq mi). The main settlement on the island is at the north, near the bridge, gathered around An Acairseid a Tuath (North Harbour). The island is peppered with tiny lochans. The largest of these is Loch an Duin (Loch of the Fort) which has a little island in it, with the remains of the ft still visible. Eilean Glas, a tiny peninsula on Scalpay's eastern shore, is home to the initial lighthouse to be constructed in the Outer Hebrides. Scalpay's closest neighbor, Harris, is simply 300 metres (980 feet) away across the tightens of Caolas Scalpaigh. In 1997, a bridge from Harris to Scalpay was constructed, replacing a ferryboat service. In 2001, the island had 322 individuals, whose major employment was fish farming and prawn fishing. By 2011 the population had actually declined by 9% to 291 whilst throughout the very same duration Scottish island populations overall expanded by 4% to 103,702.
