The Skye Bridge officially opened on 16 October 1995, linking the Isle of Skye to the mainland at Kyle of Lochalsh via the small island of Eilean Bàn.
The bridge replaced a long-running ferry service and became a key gateway to Skye.
Although controversial at first because of high tolls, these were abolished in December 2004 following public campaigns, making travel to Skye free and accessible to all.
