Old Travel Blog Photograph Cars Waiting For Kylesku Ferry Scotland

Old travel Blog photograph of vintage cars waiting for the ferry at Kylesku in Sutherland, Scotland. Kylesku is a small, remote fishing hamlet in the Scottish Highlands. Until 1984, it was the site of a free ferry. It is located where Loch Glencoul and Loch Gleann Dubh join to form a sea passage Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin which links to Eddrachillis Bay. There was a passenger ferry, a rowing boat, in the early 19th century. Commercial traffic mainly comprised cattle on their way to central Scotland, and they had to swim across. Over the years, various ferries came and went, and small car-carrying ferries first appeared between the wars. The Kylesku Ferry was unusual in being free for much of its life.
