As have many other residents of Scotland; please do the same if you haven't yet.
Four Scottish Nationals [sailing as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla] have been kidnapped in international waters. Please contact the FCDO NOW to request immediate intervention.

When contacting: instead of mentioning the flotilla, state the four Scottish Nationals aboard are:

Jim Hickey
Sid Khan
Margaret Pacetta and
Yvonne Ridley

and they have been kidnapped by Israel in international waters

One of Margaret Watkins's beautiful photographs of the Clyde from Springfield Quay, early 1930s. (Watkins's unknown subject sits just about where Bill 'Dickie Bird' Paterson sits dejectedly in 'Comfort and Joy' in 1984, also prior to the advent of the Squinty Bridge).
A view of the Clyde in silvery light, with the Finnieston Crane in the background. In the left foreground, a man sits in silhouette on a bollard.
