[1] The route crosses Loch Linnhe from Nether Lochaber to Ardgour,[2] at the Corran Narrows, 9 miles (14 km) south of Fort William.

[1] Today, the ferry is a crucial link between the main A82 road (serving Inverness, Fort William, and Glasgow) with the otherwise extremely remote Morvern and Ardnamurchan peninsulas.

Pedestrians and cyclists travel free, but roll-on/roll-off transport of motorised vehicles is charged, e.g a car costs £10.00 (as of 2022).

[3] From the Ardgour side, there are roadway connections to Lochaline, 31 miles (50 km) to the southwest, and to Kilchoan, 44 miles (71 km) to the west; both of these locations are linked by Caledonian MacBrayne ferries to points on the Isle of Mull, respectively Fishnish and Tobermory.

The Maid of Glencoul, launched in 1976 in Ardrossan, spent her early years operating between Kylesku and Kylestrome in the far north west of Scotland.
