Cape Wrath
Eighteen kilometers from Durness Village the most north-westerly point on the British mainland.

 From May to September the Cape Wrath ferry and Mini bus services carry passengers from Keoldale to the lighthouse. Two mini buses are transported over the Kyle of Durness on a purpose built raft towed by the smallest ferry operation in the land.

Until recently the raft was a home constructed barge type vessel made from oil drums and palates.

When the mini buses are over the excursion can commence for the summer. The frequency of the service is dependant on the state of the tide and weather conditions. Sometimes about two hours either side of low tide the service can stop altogether. There is a channel on the Cape Wrath side, so sometimes a smaller boat is used to ferry passengers across the channel and they have to walk over the sand back to Keoldale.
