A new retail and multi-purpose space has opened at the Old Man of Storr site on the Isle of Skye.
Built in Barra by Modular West, the Ionad Stoìr (The Storr Centre) showcases local suppliers and products, with the multi-purpose room available for registrar wedding ceremonies, exhibitions, events, and community use.
Other recent developments at the mountain include the installation of a staff welfare cabin and electric vehicle chargers to support sustainable travel and improve the experience for visitors.
Isle of Skye and Raasay area committee chair, councillor John Finlayson, said, “It’s a momentous time for ‘The Storr’ project, seeing the ‘Ionad an Stòir’ open in this remarkable setting. The new building enhances the iconic visitor attraction for both the community and for visitors to Skye.
“This project provides opportunities for local income generation and job creation and will also importantly support the overall management of this iconic site to ensure that it has a sustainable future. Community-led innovation is at the heart of this development, whilst being considerate of the environment and our unique heritage and Gaelic culture.
“Ongoing developments also include the provision of guided walks and weddings and we will continue to work with local artisans and suppliers to help support and promote local businesses.”
