This week in Scottish History saw the opening of the Skye Bridge on the 16th of October 1995.

For almost a decade, the residents of the island were subjected to seriously high toll charges just to leave the island on which they lived.

They eventually won their battle on the 22nd of December 2004, when all bridge and road tolls in Scotland, were abolished.

Enjoy!
