Runway: 1990/2000: 07/25   771x23   hard





NOTES:  A news report in the November edition of Light Aviation magazine tells us that the hard runway was built by Army engineers in the 1970s.

However, the really good news is that a report published in 2016 is very positive about the benefits to the Isle of Skye of developing this site, including the reintroduction of scheduled flights.
