Red-faced bank bosses had to set the record straight yesterday after a politician was wrongly informed that a village which is losing its bank would also lose its ATM. Castlebay on the isle of Barra is on the Royal Bank of Scotland branch closure list. Customers there are being told to use the Post Office to deposit money – or visit the nearest branch – a seven hour round trip away. Western Isles MSP Alasdair Allan sought re-assurances from senior RBS personnel that Castlebay would still have a cash machine.
