Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Dornie, Scottish Gaelic: An Dòrnaidh, a small former fishing village in the Kintail district in western Ross-shire Highlands. This former Scottish fishing village is located near the meeting point of Loch Duich, Loch Alsh and Loch Long. The main road to Isle of Skye, passes just outside the village. Before the construction of the bridge, the main road passed through the centre of the village and crossed Loch Long via a short ferry ride. Amongst bagpipers, the tune Dornie Ferry is well known strathspey. Eilean Donan is a famous castle on a nearby island. Nothing now remains of the old bridge at Dornie, as it was removed soon after the new bridge opened. The old bridge was a single track concrete structure, which spanned from the middle of Dornie Village to immediately north of the new bridge on the Ardelve side. When first opened in 1940, it was tolled although the toll was lifted in 1945
