Old photograph of the Corran Ferry on Loch Linnhe at the Corran Narrows in the Scottish Highlands south of Fort William, Scotland. This Scottish Ferry crosses Loch Linnhe at the Corran Narrows, south of Fort William. It links the main A82 road with Morvern, Moidart and Ardnamurchan, via the village of Strontian. It also provides a link to Lochaline, thirty miles to the south west, from where a ferry crosses to Mull. The route lies on one of the ancient drove routes from the Hebrides to the cattle markets in Central Scotland. Today, the ferry is a crucial link between the main A82 road, serving Inverness, Fort William, and Glasgow, with the otherwise extremely remote Morvern and Ardnamurchan peninsulas. Use of the ferry saves over an hour from the land route between Ardgour and Corran, which would involve use of the A861 and the A830.
