More than 70,000 people have now signed a petition calling for Loch Lomond’s wallabies to remain on Inchconnachan Island.
However, a local councillor has said that she is sceptical of the motives behind the petition, and would support the rehoming of the wallabies if it helps restore Inchconnachan’s natural environment.
The stunning island was bought in 2020 by TV and radio presenter Kirsty Young and husband Nick Jones, who founded prestigious private members club Soho House, for a fee believed to be in excess of £1.5m.
