Luxury eco resort plan for Skye

- By ALISON CAMPSIE

Plans have been lodged to build a luxury ecological resort hotel on the old golf course at Portree on Skye.

Spanning 52 acres, there will be 27 high-end pods clustered around a hub where guests will check in, dine, drink and relax by a real fire while enjoying the sweeping views.

A Shetland pony is likely to be used to ferry guests’ luggage from their cars to the heart of the tourist haven. A sauna will be complement­ed by a Nordic-style plunge pool.

The proposals have been put forward by Charlie Garton Jones, 47, and his wife Miranda, who currently own the Cow Shed, bunkhouse in Uig.
