KESSOCK FERRY SWIM RETURNS WITH 300 SWIMMERS
After a fifty-year gap 300 swimmers took to the water in Inverness last weekend for the revival of the Kessock Ferry Swim. The route follows the old Kessock ferry route from South to North Kessock and back. It is about 1.2k in challenging tidal waters. The swim was a popular annual event from 1947-1968 before indoor pools became favoured for swimming
events.
