Interesting photo of the airport.

The airport currently seems to be a base for helicopter tours:

This is a former RAF base from world war II which is the only one still using the original buildings. The FBO, Far North Aviation, is in the original tower. You feel very much into "Battle of Britain" here. Great service, very friendly, no hassles with the paperwork. A very nice place to land after or before crossing the pond. The approach is a LOC DME and the weather can be low, but even though it's called the Highlands there is nothing solid to hit near the airport. The local scotch (Old Pulteney) is excellent, as is the beer (the Real Mackay).

Here's a detailed English-language article about this airstrip from a Dutch site:

This airport has scheduled service from Twin Otters that land on the beach.
