BRIDGE OVER TO THE ISLE OF SKYE  AT THE KYLE OF LOCHALSH

If you prefer the picture in a popup to fill the screen  -  CLICK HERE

For years the ferry went to and fro from the jetty shown in the picture below. Then a bridge was built but controversially with toll charges in place.

Latterly the Toll charges were dropped and access to the Isle of Skye was made all that much easier.
