A 91-year-old man has allegedly been assaulted at a care home in Skye.

Police confirmed officers were investigating the incident which allegedly took place at Home Farm in Portree last month.

A spokeswoman for the force added that enquiries are at an early stage.

NHS Highland, which operates the home, said it would be inappropriate to comment due to the ongoing investigation.
