The ever popular Pontoon Marina at Kyle of Lochalsh

For details about current use of the Kyle of Lochalsh pontoons and moorings please click here. 

Pontoon Marina

The Highland Council transferred the ownership of the pontoons to the Trust in April 2014 as part of the Community Challenge Fund. The facility originally provided seven berths and, with a lifespan of just two years, Highland Council had no plans to invest further into the facility. Since then the Trust has been working tirelessly to manage the facility and provide improvements for the benefit of local and visiting boats as well as commercial operators.

Pontoons Extension

Since taking over the pontoons KLCT have been successful in securing funding, from a variety of funders, to add brand new pontoons and extend the facility to 20 berths and provided inmproved access to power, water and WiFi. As part of this same project visitor moorings were also installed nearby. The extension of the pontoons was completed in 2015.

Time frame: 2013 – 2015

Funding: £297,426

Funders: Highland European Fisheries Fund, Community Challenge Fund, Highland Council Discretionary Fund, Highlands & Islands Enterprise, Crown Estate and Conchra Trust.

Breakwater and Marina

The Trust is now working to further extend the facility and provide a breakwater protection that will allow the pontoons to be available for use all year round.

The business case has already been completed and we are now looking at ways to fund this project.

Time frame: August 2017 – ongoing

Funding to date: £5,760 (business case)

Funders: Crown Estate Scotland, Highlands & Islands Enterprise and KLCT
