Work to build Skye’s Portree Link Road could start in November with the Scottish government providing a loan to help cover its initial £1.6m cost.

The road has been proposed to ease congestion in Portree town centre and open up land for new housing developments.

There has been a need for the road for a number of years and it has been part of a local development plan since 2019.

In a report to councillors, officials said developer contributions would pay off the loan costs over a number of years.

The route could take 26 weeks to build.

Highland Council had previously hoped the road could be constructed in 2022.

It would link the A87 and A855, which are two key routes in north Skye.

The local authority said the completed link road would also allow housebuilding to go ahead on the northern side of Portree.
