A HAULAGE firm which transports food to the Hebrides has blamed ferry failures for food shortages on the islands and rubbished CalMac’s suggestions supermarkets were to blame.
Grant Baxter, the transport manager for DR Macleod, which he said is responsible for getting around 95% of foodstuffs onto the islands, has told The National the blame for rationing on the Western Isles last week lay squarely with the ferry company, despite its claims the Co-op was at fault.
