Tiree's loss could be Kintyre's gain

Not decided yet, it appears, and it would be disappointing for Tiree if this surfing event was moved away from the island. But it looks like Machrihanish is being considered as an alternative.

Machrihanish is a lot more accessible than Lewis or Harris, or even Islay. It would be good to see it going there if it has to be moved.

There was a piece about this in the Express (?) on Tuesday. Sounded like Kintyre has a real chance of hosting this in 2009.

Potentially very good news for the area, though shame it is at the expense of Tiree.....
