Effective immediately we are no longer able to allow overnight parking on the part of the pier outside of the 5 serviced spaces. This is by order of Highland Council and is the result of a complaint which we have been unable to resolve. Hopefully, we will back up and running as soon as possible. The 5 serviced pitches remain unaffected.
