The first train of the day, the 11.17 to Kyle of Lochalsh, approaches the single platform at Plockton. The train left Inverness at 8.55 but surely most passengers won’t have minded the lengthy journey through some of Highland Scotland’s finest scenery, with even the chance of a fleeting glimpse of a sea eagle or an otter along the way.
The Highland Railway station was opened in 1897 when the line was extended to Kyle from the former terminus at Stromeferry. The original station building is a protected structure which became a restaurant before its current use as self-catering accommodation.
