Leaving Glenelg
Southbound on the road to Arnisdale and Corran.
These signs are for about 30m of road between the 20mph limit and national limit. Couldn't quite work out the need for them!
The MV Glenachulish
The Skye Ferry running from Glenelg to Kylerhea on Skye.
It is, apparently, the last manually operated turntable ferry in existence.

Bernera Barracks, Glenelg
Built by the British government (started in 1717) to try and quell Jacobite uprising.
The ferry arriving at Kylerhea
On a walk later in the holiday we stood at the bottom of the pylon you can see. It is taking electricity from the mainland over to Skye.
The ferry doesn't appear to be coming from the other side of the Kyle, but that's cause it has to fight a very strong tidal current. So despite being a very short crossing, the route the ferry takes varies a lot through the day.
Dun Telve (1)
An iron age broch from around 2000 years ago.
Unfortunately some of the stones from this broch were taken to build the Bernera Barracks: www.ipernity.com/doc/davidyork/51291936
Unusually close to another broch: www.ipernity.com/doc/davidyork/51295966
