The book launch took place in Aros visitor centre Portree, Isle-of-Skye on Saturday 26th of July 2008.

The book is a hardback edition in English and Gaelic with 16 coloured photographs. If you would like to get a signed copy, (in Gaelic, or English, or both) then please contact Andy Anderson (the Secretary of SKAT) by e-mail Andy Anderson, or phone 01369 700841, or by post to 17, Broomfield Drive, Dunoon.

The Isle of Skye was connected to mainland Scotland by one of the most expensive, privately run, unjust toll bridges in Europe. A campaign of non payment ran from the day the bridge opened. Victory for the long standing anti-toll campaigners came as the toll was FINALLY removed from 21 December 2004!.
