Pier, slipway and ferry at Sconser

The ferry waiting to travel to Raasay as it was on the morning of 23 August 1995 when to make the crossing to the island with three people in the car, we paid £16.50. There was room for three cars, a coal lorry and very little more. Little has changed in the view since that time: the current ferry is larger and so of course will be the cost involved! The location at the far shore of Loch Sligachan is not of course the island of Raasay but ground which rises to Ben Lee.

Washing aggregate at Sconser Quarry

Gravel, quarried at crushed at Sconser, is being washed by the red plant and dropped into piles by the two conveyers. The mechanical shovel on the left is both filling the hopper with fresh aggregate and, in this picture, removing the washed gravel ready for it to be mixed with bitumen to make asphalt. With luck, some of it will be used to fill the winter potholes on Skye's roads.
