For most of the twentieth century, the little turntable ferry - an ingenious, local invention, able to load at any state of tide and sparing motorists the bother of reversing - was a Highland institution, bearing carts and cars, locals and tourists, over the straits and sea lochs of Scotland's western seaboard. By the late 1960s, alas, they had become a victim of their own success and rapidly gave way to much bigger vessels, bypass roads and bridges. Here - and for the first time - Robert Beale and John Hendy tell the tale of these sturdy wee ships, the routes they served and the men who sailed them.
