The family of a 103-year-old who died of Covid-19 at Home Farm care home called for someone to be held to account.
Ina Beaton became the seventh person from the home on the Isle of Skye to die. She passed away on Monday, just a few days after her birthday.
Ina’s grandson Ailean Beaton said he and his family felt “nothing but gratitude” to the home’s staff.
But he added: “Inquiries will be made in the future, but something fundamental went wrong here.
“I find it difficult when I hear the way that the care home operator and the Scottish Government and others have been passing the buck around and around on issues like testing and PPE.
“In the next while we have to reflect on that and make some big changes, but now all I would like to hear is those in positions of power and responsibility taking some ownership over what went wrong and why.”
He paid tribute to mother-of-three and grandmother-of-five Ina, from Balmaqueen, Skye, calling her a “giving, kind, patient and, above all else, generous woman”.
