Sound of Islay provided a new roll-on/roll-off between Kennacraig in West Loch Tarbert and Port Askaig on Islay.
The route follows the sea front northwards, then turns north along George Street and turns right onto the B842 (High Street), which it follows north up the east coast of Kintyre, passing Carradale and Claonaig (where it meets the NCR73), before crossing the peninsula on the B8001, joining the A83 trunk road just south of Kennacraig.
