Island drivers face 40-mile diversion after landslide on A855 on Skye | UK News

Drivers on Skye are facing a 40-mile diversion after a landslide led to a road closure.

The ground fell away from the side of the A855 north of Uig onto a local access road on Friday afternoon and an inspection later confirmed it would have to stay shut over the weekend.

The A855 road encircles the Trotternish peninsula in the north of the island and a diversion route is now in place.

No-one was injured by the landslip – which was caught on CCTV from a nearby house – but a group of visiting schoolchildren found themselves temporarily separated from their packed lunches until a local woman volunteered to retrieve them by bike.

The road could have to remain closed into next week as “detailed surveying” works continue, according to local councillor Chrissie Gillies.
