Major gas leak at Muir of Ord suspends Highland travel

A major gas leak earlier suspended trains, caused road blocks, and forced school kids to stay indoors.

Homes around the Muir of Ord area are without gas after the line was switched off to deal with a major gas leak earlier.

It happened at the village's rail bridge and forced Tarradale Primary School pupils and Dingwall Academy students to be kept indoors - they've all since gone home.

Police cordons have now been lifted, and MFR News is being told the area's now safe.
