A disappointingly dull shot taken from the old slipway at Kylesku. I recall the horrendous ferry queues that used to build up on both sides during the summer seasons of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Most of the wee West Highland ferries were unable to cope with rapidly-growing car ownership and the desire to tour "Up North". Kylesku always produced the longest wait as the ferry was the only means of getting to the other side, there being no long way round by road. For a flash back to the olden days, see NG7821 : Arriving at Kylerhea
