Trains
Can there be a more civilised way to travel than by train?

View an ever-changing landscape from the comfort of your seat - surely the finest way to trave ! . When travelling by train, your journey is an integral and wonderful part of your holiday experience. What you see from your seat is as much part of the holiday as when you arrive at the destination.

Dingwall - Kyle of Lochalsh on the Kyle Line
The Kyle line takes you on one of the most scenic rail journeys in the British Isles, travelling from Dingwall to Kyle of Lochalsh.

On leaving Dingwall the line turns inland and climbs over the Highlands. As a result of a dispute with the landowners of the time, the builders of the railway were forced to make a sharp detour around Strathpeffer. Following a steep climb to Black Rock the line descends through beautiful wooded hillsides until it reaches Garve on the shore of Loch Garve. On a still clear day this loch will perfectly mirror the surrounding hills and trees. From Garve station the line climbs up to the broad straths leading to the West Coast and then climbs to the summit of the line at Luib.

The line then descends to the magnificent scenery of Loch Carron, where it will twist and turn in and out of the loch side inlets. Plockton station and village, with yachts anchored in the shelter of the beautiful bay, is the next passing point, and was the location for the popular BBC Television series 'Hamish Macbeth'.

The final part of the journey is perhaps the most dramatic (and the most expensive), as it was carved through the solid rock that leads to Kyle Pier. Kyle of Lochalsh ("strait of the foaming lake") sits right at the entrance to Loch Alsh, opposite Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye. The two villages used to be connected by a ferry service, but this was replaced by the Skye Bridge in 1995.
