Council vows to take action over 'dangerous' potholes on Isle of Skye
After posting the video online on Twitter and Facebook, several others chimed in over the crater-ridden road.Another added:"This road is an accident waiting to happen, so dangerous."
Anna Kate Barton stated:"As a popular tourist destination and for Skye's locals virtually all of whom live rurally, things really need to be better than this!" Chef Calum Montgomery, the owner of Edinbane Lodge, told Sky News:"It is disappointing to see such lack of funding and urgency to repair and maintain our main roads on the island which have taken on much more traffic since the like of picturesque social media images have attracted so many more visitors to the island over the past decade."Ms MacKay agreed that tourism has boomed since 2015 thanks to Instagram-worthy beauty spots like the Old Man of Storr and the Fairy Pools.
"The island has countless ways to enchant you, with its mountain ranges, miles of dramatic coastline and captivating history." Ms MacKay said she had reported the damaged roads to the council but felt she was"banging her head against a wall".The move did the trick.In response, Highland Council has since confirmed that teams have been mobilised to start resurfacing works on Wednesday on the A863 Sligachan - Dunvegan at Crossal, A850 Borve - Dunvegan at Skeabost, and A855 Portree - Staffin north of Torvaig Junction.
