Loch Hourn branches off to the east at about its midpoint.
Just north of Kylerhea, a ferry service has linked the village with Glenelg on the mainland for centuries. The first car ferry[3] was introduced in 1935, with a turntable located on the boat. Despite the existence of the now toll-free Skye Bridge, this ferry service, undertaken by the MV Glenachulish, still runs during the summer months, due to its popularity as the more scenic and traditional route between Skye and the mainland. This service is now community-owned but used to be run by Murdo Mackenzie for almost twenty years.[4]
