We just saw an episode of “Vintage roads” with Christopher Timothy and Peter Davison in Scotland, they ended at Skye.
Now we really look forward to the Scottish landscape, they turned of were close to where we are go stay, in order to use a very old ferry.
As far as I know, there is still a very small ferry to Skye, operating out of Glenelg which is not far from our lodge, over an interesting mountain pass. The ferry takes only 4 or 6 cars so long queues do build up at busy times.
Although the boat is so small, the skipper is required to have the highest UK qualification in navigation. This is because the narrow neck of water to be crossed is extremely difficult, with tidal rushes, swells and boils, cross-currents and whirlpools. Its dangerous reputation makes the ferry extremely popular with tourists.
