There are 16amp, 32amp and 64amp outlets available, if in doubt of your usage please ask a member of staff. The Marina does not permit the use of portable electric meters. This decision was taken due to the fire safety hazards surrounding them. Should you wish to use electricity, there is a compulsory set rate.

We must ask all customers to sign a fuel declaration form when they purchase fuel and all fuel must be paid for at time of purchase. Customers handling petrol are requested to use extreme care at all times. Diesel is dispensed from the fuel hammerhead “D”, which is the 3rd hammerhead from the western end.

Evasive answers to common boating questions; deliberate attempts to avoid contact with others or draw attention.

SEADOGS BOAT TRIPS Hugh operates from the pontoons by the old slipway at Kyle.

This is where the famous Skye Ferry ran before the bridge was opened in October 1994. From this point on Lochalsh we can go North or South to explore the sea around the Isle of Skye.

If you want to see the castle from a unique perspective, then come with us. The castle from the sea is a view that few people get.

Trips to other islands and harbours such as the Isla of Rhum, Raasay or the beautiful harbour on Rhona. Maybe you'd like to see the famous villages of Applecross or Plockton.

It would be unusual to take a trip and not see some of the local wildlife that include seals, dolphins and sea eagles.

If you have read the book ‘Ring of Brightwater’, you may enjoy a trip to see the place where it all took place. On the way there we go through the KyleRhea, where the sea races through the narrow gap, a spectacular experience if the tides right! On the way through we will pass the only manually operated turntable ferry in Scotland - the Glenachulish.

Fishing rods are onboard if you fancy seeing if there's anything about, fish are returning as more areas are protected from commercial fishing. You can take your catch home or just release it back to the lochs.

The views of the mountains and shoreline from the boat is spectacular. As we cruise down Loch Alsh and into Loch Duich, or Loch Hourn. More and more amazing views appear as we round the next corner, bring a camera and take some memories home.

Picnic meals are available from our local deli. Beautiful seafood rolls, freshly made for you. We can go to a remote cove, drop anchor and admire the view whilst enjoying your picnic. www.boat-trips-skye.com Seadogs Boat Trips, Eskadale, Beauly, Inverness, IV4 7JR 07768980924

LOCAL HERITAGE & ADVENTURES The Castle across the Bay Dunstaffnage Castle dates back to the 13th century, making it one of Scotland’s oldest stone castles in a local group which includes Castle Sween and Castle Tioram. The castle was built around 1220, probably by Duncan MacDougall, son of Dubhgall, Lord of Lorn, and grandson of the great Somerled ‘King of the Isles’.

Mighty Dunstaffnage saw action during the Wars of Independence (1296–1356), and was famously besieged

by King Robert Bruce in 1308, after his victory over the MacDougall’s at the Pass of Brander, overlooking Loch Awe. Thereafter, Dunstaffnage remained a royal castle until it passed to the Campbell’s, Earls of Argyll, in the 1460s.

Late in 1746, Dunstaffnage welcomed one of its more famous guests, Flora MacDonald. This gentle-mannered lady was visiting her brother in South Uist when she met Bonnie Prince Charlie, then fleeing from the Redcoats following his defeat at Culloden in April. Flora agreed to help him escape, and dressed him up as her serving-girl, ‘Betty Burke’. Flora, however, was arrested and brought to Dunstaffnage. She remained there but a few days before being escorted to the Tower of London, where she was released the following year.

Oban (‘An t-Òban’ in Scottish Gaelic meaning ‘The Little Bay’) As a popular holiday resort Oban has a wide range of attractions to suit visitors of all ages, and interests.

Restaurants, cafes and bars are plentiful with live bands and ceilidhs.

Atlantis Sport and Leisure Centre A great day out for the whole family!
