Volunteers have told of the “horrifying” scale of plastic pollution at an Isle of Skye beauty spot – said to be 29 times worse than the average British beach.
Images taken this month of a cove near Ardtreck Point Lighthouse reveal shocking levels of waste, with plastic debris including bottles, crates and bags along with planks of wood and bits of rope.
The Skye Beach Cleans group revealed how their survey of this stretch of shoreline – covering just 10 metres – had uncovered 1346 items of litter.
