An investigation has been launched after a cannabis cultivation worth £125,000 was found at a remote property on the Isle of Skye.

Officers executed a search warrant at a property in Armadale around 12.30pm on Monday.

A cannabis cultivation of around 150 plants was discovered inside, with a street value of around £125,000.

Enquiries remain ongoing to trace those responsible.

Detective constable Steven Turnbull said: “This is a significant recovery and is an example of our efforts to disrupt the trade in illegal drugs in Scotland.

“Drugs cause misery in our all communities, not just cities and towns.

“The public has an important role to play in helping Police Scotland target those responsible for the cultivation, supply and sale of illegal substances.

“Our enquiries remain ongoing to establish the full circumstances and we are appealing for anyone with any information to contact us.”

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 0786 of Monday, February 24, 2025, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
