Kyleakin quay, Skye

ID: QZP40_CARD_0143 DESCRIPTION: The Kyleakin to Kyle of Lochalsh ferry can be seen arriving or departing from the quay. Buses and cars are queuing nearby. Kyleakin has been the main crossing point from Skye to the mainland at least since the17th century. Until the mid-1930s, only one car at a time could be transported across the strait. Today the ferry is no longer in public use due to the building of the Skye Bridge, linking the island to the mainland PLACENAME: Kyleakin DISTRICT: Skye OLD COUNTY/PARISH: INVERNESS: Strath PERIOD: 1930s SOURCE: Highland Libraries COLLECTION: Highland Libraries' Postcard Collection Asset ID: 32038 KEYWORDS:
