Latest News on route
From Barry Parker 240406.
"Thank you for your enquiry and apologies for the delay in getting back to you, we were on a short break after Easter madness! Unfortunately, the Altnaharrie ferry is not operational due to the previous ferry boat not meeting new MCA operational requirements last year. It is a great loss but the cost of running and insuring the service now seem very prohibitive".
Regards, Shona Osborne, Ullapool Tourism
The alternative route is via Lael forest.
Cautionary note
