Ferries and roads
One road runs the length of Skye and one bridge carries everything on to it, so a set of temporary lights on the A87 or a cancelled sailing changes a day here more than the rain does. Below is whatever CalMac and Traffic Scotland are reporting for the four ferry routes serving the island, its A roads and the Skye Bridge. The Glenelg–Kylerhea turntable ferry publishes no feed and is not listed — ring them.
