What immediate consequences resulted from Fr. John Morrison's opposition to the UK government's plan to build a guided missile testing range on South Uist?

In 1955, the UK government established a guided missile testing range on South Uist, Scotland, despite opposition from Fr. John Morrison, who feared it would displace islanders and disrupt their traditional way of life. His protests, supported by local and national media, resulted in concessions from the government, including safeguarding common grazings and limiting Sabbath operations.
