I wouldn't want to walk the A830! But yes, it is surprising. My immediate reaction in Skye's case was that it would be because Google Maps only suggests the route via the ferry, but I noticed those are included to the Isle of Man, so who knows what the deal is there. Edit: also, if you are gonna go to Eriskay you might as well take the ferry to Barra and go to the Castlebay Bar to watch the Vatersay Boys ;)
