 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. Location: On the outskirts of Kyle
of Lochalsh. |
