Stinky Beach, Near Heaste, Isle of Skye

The Stinky Beach is about half a mile west of Heaste [what three words; ///twee.assures.owner ]. I gets the full force of the prevailing south westerly gales and as a result plastic and other detritus has been accumulating over the years. The results are truly upsetting. The beach is covered layers and layers of rope and netting plus a top layer of lighter items such as plastic bottles, cartons, shoes, oil cans etc. The hinterland to the beach was covered with similar light items, plus half a kayak, but they have been cleared now.

The beach is gradually being cleared and the bagged rubbish piled under netting out of the prevailing wind. Please help if you can. The next stage is to source a rib to transfer the rubbish round the coast to skips located at Heaste pontoon. If you would like to get involved please contact me at; blackshedshul@gmail.com.

Thank you.
