The Bass Rock Shore Angling League were due to host Round 8 of their Winter League in East Lothian on Wednesday night, but the forecast is grim.

So, they have postponed the leg in the interests of safety.

Secretary James Ogilvie said: “A huge North-Easterly swell of between 12ft and 15ft is due in the North Berwick and Dunbar area and we consider it will be unfishable.

“So, in the interests of safety, the committee have decided to cancel the match on Wednesday night. Safety comes first.”
