Rail & Minibus Tours
The railway journey from Inverness to Strathcarron and/or Kyle of Lochalsh on the Kyle Line is one of the most spectacular in the whole of the UK and passes through some magnificent Scottish Highland scenery. It featured in Michael Palin's BBC TV series as one of the Great Railway Journeys of the World. The photo above shows the line hugging the coast along the south shore of Loch Carron.
