Author Neil Gaiman apologises for making trip from New Zealand to 'self isolate' at his home in Scotland
His trip, which involved flying via the US and driving from London, has been criticised by the SNP's Westminster leader Ian Blackford, who is the MP for the island, and Skye's MSP Kate Forbes.
English-born Gaiman said he had"panicked" at the thought of being stuck in New Zealand while all his upcoming work was in the UK. He said he followed advice on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's website for UK nationals to return home from abroad"where and while commercial routes" were available. However, he said police on Skye said he should have stayed where he was safe in New Zealand. Gaiman said:"I agreed that yes, all things considered, I should."
In his blog post, the author thanked islanders for the support they had shown him and wrote of Skye's"tragic Covid outbreak" at a care home in PortreeGaiman said:"I made a mistake. Don't do what I did. Don't come to the Highlands and Islands unless you have to."
