Story
Chris loved the ferry and was a founding Director of the Isle of Skye Ferry Community Interest Company as well as a Trustee of the Glenachulish Preservation Trust, the ferry charity. He worked tirelessly in support of the ferry and was rarely seen without his trademark 'ferry jumper'.
Chris's family have asked that donations in his memory are made to support his beloved ferry.

4 years agoWe would love to reach 110% as a tribute to the way Chris lived his life - always above and beyond! Thank you to all who have donated and shared thus far. Huge thanks to Chris's children, Poppy and Joss, for continuing to support his beloved ferry in this way. Here he is celebrating the ferry's 50th birthday in 2019.

Chris was the epitome of living life to its fullest, a great friend has left far too soon and so sorely missed.

Delighted to hear the ferry starts again today. So many wonderful memories of Glenelg over the years, made all the merrier by time spent with Chris.
