Corran Ferry foot passenger fare to be introduced

At today’s Economy and Infrastructure Committee (Thursday 29 May 2025), Members agreed to introduce a foot passenger fare for the Corran Ferry.

The Corran Ferry service carries over 10,000 foot passengers per year.

Economy and Infrastructure Committee Chair, Cllr Ken Gowans said: “The Council recognises the importance of the Corran Ferry service and the flexibility that a frequent, short crossing offers both the local community and visitors to the Highlands. The foot passenger fare agreed today will contribute to the sustainability of this vital transport link and will bring the Corran Ferry in line with other passenger services.

“To enhance the service and following feed-back from the local community, seasonal onshore marshals are in place this year to manage traffic safety during the summer months.”

The new charge will come into effect this summer and will include foot passengers and pedal cyclists (no charge for the pedal cycle), concessions apply in accordance with wider travel provisions.

Concessions – the foot passenger fare will not apply to:

• Senior Citizens (60+)
• Young persons (16-22)
• Children 5-15, or
• Disabled Passengers
