Pale Scots Blind Resort Family

Three members of an italian family have been blinded by glint after pale Scottish people arrived at the popular holiday resort of Alcatante in Spain.

Local press reported that the Scots, newly arrived at the resort, staggered from their hotel and crested a sand dune whereupon strong sunlight is said to have reflected from their skin and dazzled beach-goers and life guards.

An Italian family in the direct line of the reflection was airlifted to a nearby hospital after being treated by an sunbathing optometrist.

The mayor of Alcatante, Pablo Seppardo, echoed the concerns of locals who worry about the influx of Celtic people in the height of summer. "Last year an Irishman fried to death on this same beach".
