Watch the moment a landslip leaves Skye drivers facing a 40-mile diversion
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.
