Kyle of Localsh
Description
A town almost without a purpose these days. Once it was an important transport hub with the ferry across to Kyleakin on Skye providing the main link onto the island. Today the bridge just outside of town has meant all the traffic now just whips through the town and out over the bridge and onto Skye.
Charge
Getting There
There are a very limited number of trains each day to Kyle of Lochalsh, and at the time of visiting the winter service was at risk of being cut completely. Journey time is around 2.5 hours. Alternatively a couple of Scottish CityLink coaches run from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh and onto Portree, taking just over 2 hours
