The modern day clearances, where local people get squeezed out of tiny communities in favour of absentee landlords renting out to holiday makers. #capitalism

The heartache of seeing people having to leave, taking with them children, jobs, local culture.
So angry!

It was good all family was up for it (and my bike sufficiently back in working order) since they'd burned our ship for plan B : we planned to go back to #CorranFerry and road-#cycle to #FortWilliam in case we found the way too wet or the weather too steep (or the other way around), but the #ferry boat broke down this morning!
(and that replacement boat of a replacement boat...)

Unlike some of the ferry problems out on the Hebrides there is a road alternative to the #CorranFerry, but rather than the six minute crossing and about ten miles straight up the #A82 to #FortWilliam it’s three times the distance more than half of which is the #A861, a single track road with passing places.

The Corran Ferry, which carries travellers across Loch Linnhe south of Fort William and serves as a portal to so many remote and wonderful places. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/corran/corranferry/index.html
