Protest!Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

Remind me again how long it would take to drive from Kyle of Lochalsh to Mallaig? Seems like a long way to go to avoid a toll.

It is, and there wouldn't be any point 'cause you'd be paying more anyway. Same with the glenelg ferry. That's kind of the point; why would you want to avoid the toll? It was no more expensive than the ferry, and much much more convenient? Point is, that the community were not being 'held to ransom' because there was an alternative.
I could understand the objection if public money had been used to build the bridge.

Google Maps says..... an hour and three minutes to get from Kyleakin to Mallaig via the ferry.
This must be one of these newfangled faster-than-light ferries. You could barely get from Kyleakin to Armadale in an hour. It's about twenty miles of twisty single-track road. I know the road well, and I average about 20mph on it.
