Isle of Skye underwhelmed by Kanye visit

The man behind Kanye West’s page sixteen mention in the Isle of Skye local paper says the tongue-in-cheek article has “generated quite a bit of attention”.

Kanye West stayed on the remote Isle of Skye recently to shoot his latest video but his visit didn’t make the front page in the local paper, instead he ended up with a few short paragraphs on the inside pages.

Journalist Keith MacKenzie decided to write the article for page sixteen as he thought it would be “a bit of a laugh” to put Kanye “next to a story about a Kayaker rescuing some sheep”.

Despite the visit being completely underplayed, Keith went on to say the article had generated some of the biggest exposure the West Highland Free Press had ever received.
