#Turntable ferries used to operate on many short hops in the #Highlands, but over the years the inlets have been bridged or causeways built, leaving the #Glenelg ferry as the last turntable ferry in the world crossing between #Skye and the mainland.

The shore of Glenelg Bay at Glenelg in Lochalsh, which since 2012 has been twinned with Glenelg on Mars. This Glenelg is reached by crossing the Mam Ratagan pass or by ferry from the Isle of Skye. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glenelg/glenelg/index.html

"Over the sea to Skye": the Glenelg Ferry on the Isle of Skye side of the Kyle Rhea. This channel offers the shortest route between the Isle of Skye and the mainland and was the earliest regular crossing point to and from the island.

A view of Dun Telve Broch, south-east of Glenelg in Lochalsh. Over 18m in diameter and standing in part to over 10m in height, it is one of Scotland's best preserved brochs and one of a pair that are located within sight of one another.

Phone call with parents. My #TroveAu research paying off again, Dad ( #dementia) engaged in the conversation, adding details, filling in #FamilyHistory that they’ve never told me before. Think I might have to spend an arvo at the #StateLibrarySA when I visit next month - they hold maps that aren’t #digitised yet. Looking at #PaynehamRoad in #StPeters #Adelaide around the early 1920s, and #Glenelg.

Dun Troddan Broch, one of two unusually well-preserved Iron Age brochs that stand south-east of Glenelg in Lochaber. Like the other 500 or so brochs found mainly in the north and west of Scotland, it was built some 2,000 years ago.
