Kylerhea (Scottish Gaelic: Caol Reatha) is a village in the east coast of the Isle of Skye, Highland, Scotland. A ferry service has linked Kylerhea with Glenelg on the Scottish mainland for centuries. The first car ferry was introduced in 1935. Despite the existence of the now toll-free Skye Bridge, this ferry service still runs during the summer months.
It is home to an otter sanctuary.
