Officers searched a property in Armadale, in the south of the Isle of Skye, at around 12.30pm on Monday and found some 150 cannabis plants growing inside.

Police said in a statement that “drugs with a potential value of up to £125,000” had been recovered in the “remote property”.

Officers are continuing to investigate to trace those responsible, the force said.

“Drugs cause misery in our all communities, not just cities and towns.

“The public has an important role to play in helping Police Scotland target those responsible for the cultivation, supply and sale of illegal substances.

"Our enquiries remain ongoing to establish the full circumstances and we are appealing for anyone with any information to contact us.”

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 0786 of Monday, 24 February, 2025, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
