Roof tiles should be replaced as soon as possible to ensure that your roof stays waterproof. Use crawl boards when replacing them to avoid damaging other tiles, if not ask a qualified roofer to carry out the work, particularly if the tiles are higher up.
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 primary settlement on the island goes to the north, near the bridge, clustered 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 Ft) which has a tiny island in it, with the remains of the ft still visible. Eilean Glas, a small peninsula on Scalpay's eastern shore, is home to the very first lighthouse to be constructed in the Outer Hebrides. Scalpay's nearby neighbour, Harris, is just 300 metres (980 feet) away across the narrows of Caolas Scalpaigh. In 1997, a bridge from Harris to Scalpay was developed, replacing a ferryboat solution. In 2001, the island had 322 individuals, whose main work was fish farming as well as prawn angling. By 2011 the population had decreased by 9% to 291 whilst during the same period Scottish island populations as a whole grew by 4% to 103,702.
