Good morning,

A tiny island community has voted to welcome tourists back as lockdown eases.

Residents of Muck in the Inner Hebrides have approved the re-opening of self-catering accommodation and small businesses, with around two-thirds of the population supporting the move.

It comes as neighbouring Eigg voted to keep tourists away until at least August 31 given concern over pressure on an already reduced ferry service and difficulties in introducing Covid-related restrictions.
