Lighthouse vandalised

Just days after men from Nairn Sailing Club carefully gave the lighthouse a lick of white paint it appears that vandals have painted it pink. It's thought that the vandalism occurred sometime last night and now makes the important navigational aid useless. Police are studying CCD footage but unfortunately the cameras were pointing the wrong way at the time (towards Harbour Road) One line of enquiry is that women dubbed 'girls' at the sailing club are fed up of being portrayed as only good enough to produce bacon rolls for the menfolk and have staged a pink protest. The Spin says good for them and if indeed that is the case we will start a crowdfunder for any legal costs #FreeTheLightHouseThree #EndSexism #MeToo

Free parking in Nairn

News that three of our councillors voted for the Highland council budget and therefore must be seen as supporting parking fees in Nairn have been greeted with dismay by the great majority of Nairnites. Here at the Spin we recognise the importance that free parking has brought to the town for locals and visitors alike. To aid people to avoid the proposed parking charges we aim to highlight various areas of the town where drivers can park for free. We hope to transfer this to a website at some future date and maybe try and publish the information to a few notice boards around the town at friendly venues. The first area to feature is that of the fishertown. There are a few parking restrictions, namely some yellow lines to stop people parking on both sides of a the street at busy times, but venture down one of the many small side streets and you'll find plenty of unrestricted free parking where you can stay as long as you like. Location is everything and with careful planning...

McDonald's to sponsor new bins at the harbour?

Highland council is hopeful that the newly announced McDonald's outlet in Nairn might sponsor some extra bins at the harbour. A council spokesperson stated 'it's likely that 99% of the customers of the new takeaway are likely to take their food to eat at Nairn harbour and clearly we need to cope with all the extra rubbish that'll create'. At the time of going to press the Spin was unable to obtain a quote from McDonald's. Meanwhile on a well known Nairn social media site some Nairnites expressed their surprise when the manager of a well known fine dining establishment stated that he and his staff quite often went through to Inverness in order to eat at a McDonald's post their shift. With his endorsement of the restaurant chain we hope he doesn't lose too many customers when the new branch opens in Nairn.
