Polar bears in Scotland? Mysterious white creatures wash up on shores of Hebrides

POLAR BEARS may have washed ashore in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland and locals are baffled.

The remains of three large white animals were discovered by people living on the island of Colonsay in August.

Each carcass washed up in a different section of the island’s west coast. 

They smelt badly and were covered in debris, but three months on the carcasses can be seen more clearly. 

Images capture the white pelts visible underneath the debris, which has led locals to believe the animals are polar bears.

ICELAND VOLCANO: flight alert raised after Katla volcano was rocked by two earthquakes

Iceland has raised its aviation alert up a notch after several earthquakes hit one of the country's biggest volcanoes .

The tremors at the Katla volcano were the strongest since a string of quakes last month raised concerns over a possible eruption.

The alert only moved to the second lowest level of the four colour scale, but in 2010, ash from an eruption of the nearby Eyjafjallajokull volcano resulted in a major part of Europe's airspace having to close for several days.

The Icelandic Met Office said two quakes had shaken the Katla volcano in southern Iceland and that "an intense seismic swarm" had been experienced since Thursday morning.
