Detective Constable Steven Turnbull said: “This is a significant recovery and an example of our efforts to disrupt the trade in illegal drugs in Scotland.
“Drugs cause misery in all our communities, not just cities and towns.
“The public has an important role to play in helping Police Scotland target those responsible for the cultivation, supply and sale of illegal substances.
“Our inquiries remain ongoing to establish the full circumstances, and we are appealing for anyone with any information to contact us.”
Armadale is in the southern part of Skye, in the Sleat Peninsula.
It is best known as the location of Armadale Ferry Terminal, where the CalMac ferry operates between Armadale and Mallaig on the mainland.
