Note (7 January 2016)
NGR corrected to NH 70731 68268.
Previous NGR refers to a slipway which was wrongly identified as the ferry pier (see NH76NW 153).
The ferry pier was located to the west of the harbour (NH76NW 21) as depicted on the OS 1st and 2nd edition 6-inch map (Ross-shire 1880, sheet LXVI and 1907, sheet LXVI). Expansion of the port has resulted land reclaimation in the area of the former pier and it is no longer visible.
