Calls for Scotland-wide ‘seagull summit’

To quote from a Sky News report:

Politicians have called for a Scotland-wide seagull summit to be held amid warnings someone could be killed.

Former Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross told the nation's parliament during a debate on the issue that people risk losing their lives over the "growing problem" of "nuisance" gulls.

Scots are being left "scared, attacked and traumatised", fellow Tory Rachael Hamilton said as she called for a nationwide summit.

Ms Hamilton said "aggressive" seagulls had attacked seven children in one month last year in Eyemouth, leaving one girl "with gashes to her scalp and blood running down her face".

Agriculture minister Jim Fairlie had already promised to hold a seagull summit in the north of Scotland, but Ms Hamilton, who represents the south of Scotland, said a summit for the whole nation is necessary.
