The Kyle of Durness is a coastal inlet on the north coast which extends for 5.5 miles inland from Balnakeil dividing the Cape Wrath peninsula from the mainland.
The Cape Wrath passenger ferry operates from Keoldale between May and September providing the only access to Cape Wrath from the east. The ferry slipway dates from 1830s and was built to supply the lighthouse at Cape wrath. A previous landing site towards the mouth of the Kyle was originally used and is the site of a ruined storehouse.
