The MV Glenachulish is the last manually operated turntable ferry in the world. Built in 1969 for service at Ballachulish, before the bridge was built there, she was brought to Glenelg in the early 1980s and has sailed the Kylerhea narrows ever since. This year, 2019, she turns 50 years old. The ferry has been in the ownership of the Isle of Skye Ferry Community Interest Company since 2007 and the Glenachulish Preservation Trust was set up to raise funds to preserve this unique piece of Scottish maritime history. Over £200,000 has been raised to bring the boat to her current condition. The original Kelvin T6 engine requires some TLC and the Charity would like to ask for donations for this vital work to be carried out.
