The Isle of Skye is the 2nd most visited destination in Scotland after Edinburgh, yet we seem to have least amount of infrastructure investment.
This is one example of a main road here.

Can still drink all they like upstairs, but not in the restaurant.

There’s too much talk about brexit being the problem with hospitality vacancies in the UK.
For me, I believe the problem started years ago with long hours and poor pay.

Perhaps making 200 takeaway afternoon teas with a 4 litre houshold kenwood mixer was a slightly questionable decision 😅😅
