Divers film 'illegal scallop dredging'
Divers say they have filmed evidence of suspected illegal scallop dredging in a protected area near Oban.
It shows a boat "acting suspiciously" at night in the Firth of Lorn Special Area of Conservation (SAC).
Although the footage does not show dredge gear in use, divers subsequently visited the sea bed and discovered damage in keeping with dredging.
The evidence has been presented to concerned groups in the town and is being investigated by Marine Scotland.
