Add your voice to the campaign to remove the charge from an absentee land owner upon the community ferry.
Thank you to everyone who has supported so far.

This ten minute crossing is famous around the world - and is believed to be the last turntable style ferry anywhere. It's an iconic part of Skye's history, but it's been widely reported that the ferry’s future may be under threat. Under "right to ferry" rules, the Glenelg to Skye ferry and tearoom...

The ferry will go to Kishorn on Monday to undergo investigation and repair.
Service will resume as quickly as is possible.
We will keep you posted as to progress.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
Please be aware that the Shore Station cafe will remain open and we hope that as many of you as are able will make use of that facility.
Remember that our online shop is open for business.

Regretfully we are OUT OF SERVICE due to a mechanical fault.
Repairs will take place at Kishorn and we shall update you as to the progress and when we can return to Glenelg once again.
In the meantime, the Shore Station remains open and your custom there is most welcome.
Every little helps.
