Lochaber & Skye Police then went on to thank everyone for the positive response to the domestic abuse appeal.
They told everyone that the meaning behind it was to “reach-out to anyone who may be at risk”.
Sincere thanks for the positive response to our #domesticabuse appeal today. It was a reach-out to anyone who may be at risk – whether you live in #Skye or #Stirling, #Lochaber or #Largs.
Anyone can be affected, but by reaching out we can start making a difference together
