Turntable ferry from Glenelg to Kylerhea (Skye)
The MV Glenachulish is the last manually operated turntable ferry in the world. It was built in 1969 and has a length of almost 18m and a beam of 6.7m. Although there has been a car ferry service crossing the Kylerhea straits since 1934, the very same crossing has been in almost constant use for hundreds of years, as this is the closest point on the mainland to the Isle of Skye.
