I was telling you about the Kessock Ferry. There was a ferryboat running at one time between Inverness and the Black Isle. That was before there was the Kessock Bridge.

People swim over and back every year. I want to tell you about the history of that swim. I have drawn this summary from the booklet 鈥楾he History of the Kessock Ferry Swim鈥� by Jennifer Morag Henderson.

In 1912, a female 鈥� 鈥楳iss Duncan鈥� 鈥� swam over. There was a boat beside her. She did the breaststroke. The journey took seventeen minutes. Two years after that, a sixteen-year-old lad did the same thing. He was [called] Charles Jack.

Through the wars, there were armed forces based in the area. It doesn鈥檛 appear that people were swimming across the Kessock Narrows during those years or in the inter-war years.

It鈥檚 in 1946 that groups started to swim over together. About a dozen people went to begin with. A year after that, four young people, aged about twelve years, swam from the north to the south. They all used the front crawl or backstroke.

The number of swimmers was increasing. In 1950, about thirty participated. They were all under fourteen years of age.

Ian Black was one of the swimmers in the fifties. He was an excellent swimmer. In 1958, he won three gold medals at the European championships in Budapest. And he won a gold medal and two silver medals at the Commonwealth Games in Cardiff. At the age of seventeen, he won 成人快手 Sports Personality of the Year.

At the end of the seventies, the Kessock Ferry Swim stopped. It began again in 2022 as a charity event. Hundreds of people take part. With the interest that people have today in swimming in cold water, it鈥檚 expected that it will continue for many years to come.聽 聽 聽 聽聽
