Glenelg Ferry, HFF

Glenelg Ferry, HFF
Quite an exhilarating trip to the Isle of Skye across the Kylerea Narrows especially when the tide is running as at peak tides speeds of over 10knots have been measured,
The m/v Glenachulish worked the crossing of Loch Leven at Ballachulish from 1969 to 1975 before the building of the bridge made her redundant, the ferry has worked this crossing since 1982.
She is the last ferry in the world to operate with a full deck turntable, See PIP
