The Strome Ferry on Loch Carron, 1969

ID: PC_WDOWNIE_025 DESCRIPTION: The ferry crossed from the entrance of Loch Carron to Strome. It ceased operation in 1970, shortly after this photograph was taken, when the old road along the north shore of Loch Carron was reconstructed to reach Inverness. A ferry returned to service briefly in October 2008 (and again in 2012) when rockfalls made local roads unsafe and alternative access was required during repair work.
