The Kylerhea ferry lighthouse (Sandaig Old)
Anybody taking the short ferry ride from Glenelg to Kylerhea on the Isle of Skye are treated to a hidden lighthouse as they approach the ferry landing on the mainland.
"The Kylerhea Ferry lighthouse is a restored octagonal white cast-iron tower that serves as an information center and mini shop at the Glenelg-Kylerhea ferry in Scotland. The lighthouse was originally built in 1910 and was relocated from Sandaig in 2002. Designed by David A & Charles Stevenson. Discontinued in 2004. It was saved by the local community and restored by the Northern Lighthouse Board. It contains information about the local area, including the turntable ferry, it is also a shop selling various items, and an honesty box system for buying tea and coffee.
The Glenelg Ferry crosses the Kylerhea Narrows, which is the original crossing point between Skye and the Mainland. The ferry is the last manual turntable ferry in the world. The crossing can be daunting due to the tidal flow between Skye and the mainland. "
