Congratulations to Ionad an Stòir

That this House congratulates Ionad an Stòir (The Storr Centre) on Skye on an outstanding first year of operation; notes that since opening in July 2024 the award-winning visitor centre at the Old Man of Storr has welcomed over 293,000 visitors, a 43 per cent rise compared to 2022; further notes that income from parking fees and sales has generated a surplus of £450,296, which is being reinvested in local infrastructure and services across Skye and Raasay; commends the creation of six new jobs and the support of over 20 local suppliers, alongside the sale of over 150 Highland-made products; welcomes the investment of £282,000 into road improvements at other visitor hotspots including the Fairy Pools, Neist Point and Coral Beach; further welcomes the awards the centre has received for its commitment to quality and sustainability; and recognises Ionad an Stòir as a landmark example of sustainable, community-led tourism which can serve as a model for rural development across the Highlands and beyond.
