Kyles of Scalpay is the name given to the stretch of water that separates the Isle of Scalpay from the Isle of Harris. It runs for about one mile and is only 100m wide at its narrowest point. Until recently (when the bridge was opened), the ferry ran from one side to the other (click slightly below where you just clicked on the map for more info.).
