A pensioner who died in a car crash on Skye has been named locally as Donnie Martin.
Emergency crews raced to the two-vehicle collision on the A87 Dungevan Road, Portree, at 3pm on Thursday, May 5.
Medics attended, however the 65-year-old sadly died at the scene.
The passengers of the other vehicle were treated for minor injuries.
Mr Martin, a leading figure in Scottish shinty, has been honoured for his involvement in sport on the island for the last 50 years.
