The ceremony to mark the switching-on of electricity at #Kyleakin, Skye on this day in 1947. Initally, the power came via a submarine cable from a temporary diesel-generating station at Kyle of Lochalsh. It switched to hydro-electricity in December 1948 when the power station at Nostie Bridge became operational [source: #Skye & #Lochalsh Archive Centre]

On the slipway at #Kyleakin, Isle of #Skye, c1960s. Something heavy is being unloaded from the mail compartment of the MacBrayne's bus and onto MV Lochalsh. I think the boat in the background might be MV Loch Arkaig [photo: John Sinclair]

The old wooden pier at #Kyleakin, #Skye, circa early-1920s. It was built in 1897, when the railway reached Kyle of Lochalsh, to allow steamers to call on their way from Kyle to Portree. However, it proved unsatisfatory at low tide and was eventually removed later in the 1920s [photo: Duncan Macpherson; source: Skye & Lochalsh Archive Centre]
