Isle of Skye Ferry
During the course of the 20th century, the ferries situated at Ballachulish on Loch Leven; at Dornie on Loch Long; and at Kyle of Lochalsh for those bound for the Isle of Skye, were all replaced by bridges. The ancient ferry at Dornie was replaced by a toll-bridge in 1940. Ballachulish ferry was to follow in 1975. The Kyle of Lochalsh ferry was made redundant when the Skye Bridge opened in 1995. But, despite all this 'progress', one can still sail "over the sea to Skye" on the ferry from Glenelg! The service operates seasonally from Easter to October.
