Despite being described as the "perfect guest" by the owners of a Skye hotel, rapper Kanye West's trip to the north of Scotland has not impressed everyone.

Local newspaper The West Highland Free Press, which covers the Isle of Skye, Wester Ross and the Outer Hebrides, dedicated just three sentences to their coverage of Kanye's visit.

The hip-hop artist - dubbed the greatest artist of the 21st Century by USA Today - was described simply as an "American man", adding that he is "well known for his hip-hop, his outspoken opinions and his marriage to a woman who gained notoriety for a sex tape".

Instagram user Tina MacLeod posted a photo of the article online with the caption, "Hilariously tiny article in the West Highland Free Press today about some American visiting Skye!".

It is understood he was on the island to record a video promoting his new single Waves.

The star and his entourage stayed at Skeabost House Hotel on Sunday night, taking half of the venue's 14 rooms.

While there he did some filming amid some of the island's famous scenery before returning for a meal ahead of leaving via Inverness airport
