Visitor attractions and information - Isle of Skye

	The Skye Bridge, Kyle of Lochalsh. Since October 1995, Skye has been linked to mainland Scotland by a bridge. Kyle of Lochalsh had been the location of a ferry link to Skye since 1600 or earlier, though cattle on their way to lowland markets still had to swim across the half kilometer of water as late as 1800. Better road links to Kyle came in 1819, and the Highland Line rail link to Inverness in 1897. On the east coast of the Isle of Skye.
	Skye Serpentarium, The Old Mill, Harrapool, Broadford, Isle Of Skye IV49 9AQ. Tel: 01471 822209. The Skye Serpentarium was opened in 1991 by Catherine and Alex Shearer as an exhibition and educational centre. Catherine is an experienced herpetologist and has helped rescue over 500 abandoned or rescued reptiles and amphibians.
