About Glenelg

It is still possible to reach Skye by ferry, on the Glenelg to Kylerhea route.

There had been circulated joint Report No. SL/08/01 by the Area Development Manager and the Area Roads and Transport Manager outlining the options for the existing timber jetty in Glenelg, which is owned by the Highland Council, and recommending that Members agree that the existing timber jetty at Glenelg will become surplus to requirements on completion of the proposed new facilities and to determine options for disposal as in Section 2.2 of the Report.

The Committee agreed that the existing jetty would become surplus to requirements on completion of the new facilities and to offer it to the Community on the understanding that the Highland Council would have no further responsibility for its upkeep and maintenance. In the event of the community declining the offer, it was agreed to demolish the facility with the cost (estimated at £5,000) being included as part of the application for funding for the new pier and slipway.
