Glenachulish at Stromeferry

It's been a challenging couple of weeks but Glenachulish is now in service at Stromeferry during the closure of the A890. We have interrupted our winter maintenance schedule to help re-connect Lochcarron with Kyle. There has been endless debate with Highland Council about moorings, opening times, making the slipways safe, welding parts on the boat to enable port-side landing etc etc.. However, we are now happy and up and running providing a regular ferry service at Strome for the first time for 40 years.

Glen Mallie

Tony Milsom has just sent us this photo from 1970 showing one of the previous boats, the Glen Mallie, beginning to unload at the Kylerhea slipway. Looks like a beuatiful sunny day - we could do with some more of those.

Season's over

Another successful season. Thanks to crew, volunteers, and of course our customers. MV Glenachulish will go to Kishorn for some much needed care and attention over the winter. Next season opens on April 1st. We look forward to seeing you.

Another old flyer turns up

This flyer is from 1972. The ticket price is now in decimal coinage but actually hasn't gone up since the 1968 flyer. Interesting to see the price for a 'caravanette' at 62 and a half pence! Must have been a nightmare dealing with the change.
