Co-op is the main retailer in Skye and pictures from its supermarket in Portree show row upon row of empty shelves. The disruption comes after the company told the BBC on Friday the attack on its systems had resulted in "significant" amounts of customer data being stolen. A Co-op spokesperson said deliveries to its stores were also impacted by the "sustained malicious attempts by hackers to access our systems", and staff were working around the clock to reduce disruption.
