The Kylerhea Ferry is the first recorded ferry to Skye and is mentioned by Martin Martin in his journal of his tour of Skye in the 1630s. This was also the drove route by which cattle were taken to and from Skye to market in Central Scotland. Today's ferry operates in the summer months and is, as far as we know, the only manual turntable ferry in the world.
This photo of the ferry was taken in the 1920s or 30s and shows the Ferry House in the background.
