The landowner of a site in south Skye which has been earmarked for the development of a workers camp has rejected claims that they have struck a secret deal with a construction company.

Balfour Beatty recently announced it had submitted a proposal of application notice to the Highland Council for a workers camp accommodating up to 450 people situated at Ashaig.

The proposals form part of Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks plans to upgrade the existing powerlines between Skye and Fort Augustus which were originally constructed between the 1950s and 1980s.

๐‹๐จ๐œ๐š๐ฅ ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ซ๐ง๐ฌ

In response to plans for the workers camp, local residents in Broadford and Breakish have raised concerns over the strain on local services such as the fuel station and supermarket, and the impact on the roads and the enviroment.

A spokesperson for the landowner the Fearann Eilean Iarmain estate told Radio Skye that they had been notified by Balfour Beatty that the company is considering siting a workers' camp in the vicinity of the old quarry at Ashaig, but no agreement has been made with them to secure a specific site nor have any terms been offered for consideration.

They said that part of the land in question houses a new croft apportioned from Breacais Ard Common Grazings, which is occupied by local resident Brendan Martin, while the remaining area lies within the common grazings.

The Fearann Eilean Iarmain Estate spokesperson said that both parties had been informed of Balfour Beatty's proposals.

Nick Ferguson is the chair of the Breakish Wind Farm Action Group which opposes the plans.

On Monday, Mr Ferguson claimed that secret negotiations have been taking place between landowners and Balfour Beatty to establish the workersโ€™ camp in Breakish.

He said the group are appalled and disgusted by the lack of engagement with the community and the fact that secret deals are being made with individuals.

๐๐จ ๐ฌ๐ž๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐ญ ๐๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ

Addressing the claims of Mr Ferguson, the spokesperson for Fearann Eilean Iarmain told Radio Skye that "no negotiations, secret or otherwise, have taken place with Balfour Beatty, and that no deals, secret or otherwise, have been made with any individuals or businesses."

Meanwhile, croft tenant Brendan Martin stated: "No "secret negotiations" concerning this matter. I have neither received nor been sent any formal proposal, no agreements have been made, and additionally no contracts have been signed."

The Fearann Eilean Iarmain spokesperson added that Balfour Beatty are demonstrably engaging with the community and the planning authority before opening negotiations for a site.

Balfour Beatty are to hold public consultation events on Monday, 24 February at Kyleakin Village Hall from 5.30pm-8.30pm and Tuesday, 25 February at Broadford Village Hall from 11am-3pm.

More than ยฃ1,600 has been raised to provide aid for the people of Palestine through two events held on Skye.

On Saturday, the team from the Third Ridge climbing wall hosted a bingo and raffle event at the Skye Gym which was organised by Portree resident Layla Sawford.

The event raised ยฃ1,153 for the Medical Aid for Palestinians and Ship to Gaza Norway charities as Layla explained to Radio Skye.

Layla Sawford said: "The money raised will go to the Medical Aid for Palestinians, and Ship to Gaza Norway, which my friend Jack Aldridge from Sleat volunteered on - it's a solidarity vessel which passes multiple countries and takes aid and goods to Palestine.

"We just want to say a big thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and helped out. Thanks also to all the businesses who were so kind in donating so many lovely prizes, it was fantastic."

Meanwhile on Sunday evening, a film screening of the documentary film No Other Land by a Palestinian-Israeli collective was hosted by Dunvegan resident Catherine MacPhee in association with ATLAS Arts at Breakish Hall and raised ยฃ500 for charities.

Catherine MacPhee told Radio Skye that the funds raised from the film night will be split between Medical Aid for Palestinians and helping the people featured in the film who had been displaced from Masafer Yatta, a region in the West Bank.
