Why is Scottish island infected with anthrax?
During the second World War, in 1942, Britain experimented with the Anthrax bacterium on the Scottish island of Gruinard. The experiments were undertaken because Britain feared that they would be attacked by Germany with similar biological and chemical weapons. Thankfully, Anthrax was never used as a weapon in World War II. The island remained "out of bounds" for several decades. In 1986 a company was employed by the British government to decontaminate the island. The island was finally declared "safe" on 24th April 1990.
