caption_attribution_description: English: Glenelg Ferry. Approaching Kylerhea slipway. The ferry which holds up to six cars is now community owned and runs in the Summer months only.
context_page_description: MV Glenachulish is a ferry operating a summer service between Glenelg, on the Scottish mainland, and Kylerhea, on the Isle of Skye. Built in 1969, she is the last manually operated turntable ferry in the world.
context_section_description: From 1969 to 1975, Glenachulish operated at Ballachulish. After the opening of the Ballachulish Bridge, she became the relief ferry at Corran, Kessock, and Kylesku. The latter two routes have since been replaced with bridges.
  Since 1982, Glenachulish has operated the Glenelg ferry across Kylerhea narrows between Easter and October each year. The 550-metre (600-yard) crossing takes only 5 minutes and is the shortest sea crossing to Skye. There has been a ferry on this route for over 400 years, with a car ferry since 1934. It is one of only two remaining ferries to Skye from the mainland – the other is the Caledonian MacBrayne service between Mallaig and Armadale.
