Paint job: Last of its kind ferry back to old livery

The world's last sea-going, manually-operated, turntable ferry has been repainted in its original livery.

The 45-year-old MV Glenachulish operates on the oldest crossing to Skye from the mainland.

Between April and October, the boat makes a short crossing of the Kylerhea Straits between Glenelg and Kylerhea on Skye.

The ferry carries 12,000 passengers every year.

A car ferry has crossed the straits since 1934.

The service has been run by the Isle of Skye Ferry Community Interest Company since 2007. The community-owned company was set up after long-time ferryman Roddy MacLeod retired.

With support of a £31,500 grant from Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the ferry's slipway at Glenelg was given a revamp ahead of the latest summer tourist season.
