Glenelg Turnaround


The summer-only Glenelg - Skye Turntable Ferry has been running as a community operation for six years and as a vehicle crossing for almost 80 years. The MV Glenachulish has plied this route for 45 years and celebrations will take place on 8 August when the Chicago Stock Yard Kilty Band will be present.
