Otter ferry is not named after an animal but in fact takes it name from the Gaeilic word Oitir. This refers to the sandbank you see here which extends about a mile into Loch Fyne. For over 200 years people, horses and cattle were transported across the waters of Loch Fyne here. The village of Otter Ferry grew as a result of this crossing. Map location.
