From tourist office map : - Ferry Land
This house went with the job of running the ferry from Inveraray to St Catherine's on the opposite short of Loch Fyne.
At the turn of the century the ferry was operated by the Town Council with the paddle steamer "Fairy".
The service continued until the 1960's.
Is this where Hope McArthur lived?
Reference to the Ferry Land in Ferry Tales of Argyll and the Isles by Walter Weyndling
The Ferryman lived there and kept the Ferry Inn or dram house to supplement his income…
The Ferry Inn lasted till 1917 but at time of writing (1996) part of Ferryland is still inhabited by the last ferryman's widow…
