South Kessock

South Kessock

South Kessock is an area of the city of Inverness in Scotland.

It is near Merkinch and is also known, somewhat disparagingly, as the Ferry. This name originates from the fact that, prior to the construction of the Kessock Bridge, a ferry sailed between North Kessock and here. It has also featured in two novels by Alex Mabon: "The Lads from the Ferry" and "War of the Ferry". It is traditionally viewed as a working class area.
