It is unclear what the announcement means for those who work in the visitor centre or on the estate.

BBC Scotland News has contacted Clan Donald Land Trust's CEO, Alex Stoddart, for further comment.

News of the sale caught the surrounding locals off guard.

Dr Andy Williamson, chair of the Sleat Community Council, said no-one in the community had known the decision was being made.

But he was not "overly surprised" by the lack of consultation.

"The trustees aren't in the community. They're in London and the US," he said.

Dr Williamson said the lack of a relationship between the landowners and the community could be "detrimental to a good outcome" in the sale.

"Our fears are it could be packaged off or further broken up. Our fears are that people might want to buy it simply to put wind turbines on it," he said.

"How does that benefit the community? How does that benefit the people of Sleat and the Isle of Skye?"
