A petition to save a colony of wallabies on a Loch Lomond island owned by presenter Kirsty Young has gained more than 100,000 signatures.

Campaigners claim there are now young joeys on the island of Inchconnachan. There were initially thought to be seven of the animals on the island, having first been introduced 80 years ago, but breeding has added to the population, reports The Daily Express.

The former Desert Island Discs presenter and her husband, Nick Jones, plan to build a holiday lodge on the island. Mr Jones is the chief executive of Soho House UK and Ms Young was a former BBC journalist who retired due to health reasons.

The couple are hoping to create a world-class tourist attraction and habitat. They plan to build a boat house, paths and a boardwalk - it would involve the demolition of a derelict colonial-style timber bungalow dating from the 1920s.
