The village of Kyleakin is situated on the east coast of the Isle of Skye in the Inner Hebrides, opposite the northwest Scottish mainland town of Kyle of Lochalsh. Its name derives from 'Strait of Haakon' named after the King Haakon IV of Norway whose fleet moored there prior to the Battle of Largs that saw the end of Norwegian rule of the island. From 1841 to October 16, 1995 a ferry service operated from Kyleakin to the mainland across the narrow straight of Loch Alsh, until it was replaced by the controversial Skye Bridge. Initially a toll bridge, the tolls were discontinued in 2004 following protests by local people.
