Thanks to Greg for pointing this out to these results out in a comment thread on another article.
Greg added: "which is well under the limit for an "excellent" classification (250 and 100cfu/100ml respectively)." That is correct Greg but the problem is we have to be within those limits 95% of the season's tests to achieve that.
Anyway looks perfect at the moment for a dip. No doubt the SEPA pages might get quite a few visits from Nairn residents this year.

So why all the local media hysteria?
That will not have helped Nairn or the High Street at all.
OTT imho
For once it's not OTT, this situation has being going on for years. It's not something new but, at last, the authorities are being forced into acknowledging it and, hopefully and finally, doing something about it.
They've been waving a Seaside Award flag (which, although coloured blue, is not a Blue Flag - wish some folk would go and find out what the difference is) in front of our eyes in the hope that we wouldn't notice what's been happening. Yes, it means that the beach is nice and tidy and there are enough bins and life buoys about but it's been used as a smokescreen to hide the fact that the water is often not up to a good - never mind excellent - quality.
What's worse, telling the truth to people or sticking your head in the sand and pretending it's not happening? At least now there will be progress towards dealing with the problems and finding a solution.
