From the Wikipedia article
The Vatersay Causeway (Scottish Gaelic: Rathad Bhàgh Bhatarsaigh) is a 250-metre-long causeway that links the Scottish Hebridean Islands of Vatersay and Barra across the Sound of Vatersay (Scottish Gaelic: Caolas Bhatarsaigh). The causeway was constructed between 1989 and 1991, and provides a direct link between Vatersay, the most southerly inhabited island of the Outer Hebrides, and Barra. Before its inception, the island was reachable only via a passenger ferry from Castlebay, making the transportation of goods, cattle, or vehicles arduous, necessitating the hiring of private boats.
