A 35-year-old tourist was taken to hospital after being injured in a fall at a Skye beauty spot.

Police, Skye mountain rescue team and paramedics were called out after reports a man had fallen at Lealt Falls at around 12.30pm on Tuesday.

The man, who had been part of a group of five visitors, was taken from the scene 12 miles north of Portree to Broadford Hospital.

He is thought to have suffered a minor injury to his leg.

A Northern Constabulary spokesman said: "The mountain rescue team was brought in because it was a difficult area to access.

"The casualty had to be carried back up a slope."
