Personally, I prefer the ferry because it's more like a little voyage, but I suppose the bridge would be quicker.

When we last visited Skye there was no option, the bridge was just under construction. However, a ferry is our choice, truly gives the feeling of being on an island and isolated from the mainland.

Well - which makes most sense depends on where you are. From Onich it is closer to the ferry at Mallaig so that makes more sense. It is a slower road but still a faster drive than up to Invergarry and across to Kyle.<BR><BR>But in fact most people use both - ferry over and bridge back or vice versa. That way you are not backtracking and can travel two gorgeous roads.
