==Transport== A [[Caledonian MacBrayne]] ferry, {{MV|Lochnevis}}, links the Small Isles to each other and to the mainland port of [[Mallaig]]. The ferry runs a daily service, calling at different islands depending on the day of the week; there are two calls at certain islands on each day to allow for day visits to and from each island.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.calmac.co.uk/mallaig-eigg-muck-rum-canna-smallisles-summer-timetable|title=Small Isles Ferry Timetable Summer 2018|publisher=Caledonian MacBrayne|access-date=2018-06-05}}</ref> The Lochnevis has a [[landing craft]]-style stern ramp allowing vehicles to be driven onto and off the vessel at a new [[slipway]] constructed in 2001,<ref>''Caledonian MacBrayne: Ferries of the Clyde, Highlands and Islands''.
