Scottish Wildlife Trust builds £50,000 loo on Handa
Quote:
A public toilet is being built at a cost of £50,000 on a tiny isle that is uninhabited for six months of the year.
Quote:
The loo on Handa off Scotland's north west coast is being constructed in such a way that it can withstand gale-force winds and be eco-friendly.
Quote:
The foundations for the new toilet need to be two metres (7ft) deep to stop it from blowing into the Atlantic.
Quote:
With no running water on the island, people who use it will sprinkle sawdust after a visit. It will be cleared out every two years.
