Kyle of Lochalsh is a village on the northwest coast of Scotland, 63 miles west of Inverness. It is located on the Lochalsh peninsula, at the entrance to Loch Alsh, opposite the village of Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye. A ferry used to connect the two villages until it was replaced by the Skye Bridge, about a mile (2 km) to the west, in 1995.
The village is the transport and shopping centre for the area as well as having a harbour and marina with pontoons for maritime visitors. The surrounding scenery and wildlife are regarded as attractions of the village, as is the slow pace of life. Crofting as well as more recent crofting pursuits like salmon farming are some of the activities taking place in Kyle of Lochalsh.
Kyle of Lochalsh railway station is connected to Inverness by the Kyle of Lochalsh railway line, built in 1897 to improve public transport to the north-west of Scotland. The line ends on the water's edge, near where the ferry connection used to run. A land-based control centre of the Royal Naval BUTEC submarine range is based in Kyle of Lochalsh. Kyle of Lochalsh lies almost precisely 500 miles (800 km) due north of Land's End in Cornwall.
In 1980, the BBC did a series of documentaries, entitled Great Railway Journeys Of The World. The Kyle of Lochalsh appeared in an episode entitled Confessions of a Trainspotter, presented by Michael Palin. In the segment, Palin travelled by various trains from London to Kyle of Lochalsh. His humour was evident throughout the documentary. Upon reaching the Kyle of Lochalsh, he purchased a large piece of railway memorabilia—the Kyle of Lochalsh railway platform sign. The ending credits showed Palin taking the oversized sign with him back to London, which he then hung on his garden wall at home. Along with nearby town Plockton, the town became the backdrop to the BBC drama series Hamish MacBeth. Kyle of Lochalsh was visited by the characters in Mark Chadbourn's trilogy, Age of Misrule.

Giant Alien Aircraft attacks train
Some passengers on the 10.15 Kyle of Lochalsh to Inverness train needed counselling after being buzzed by a highly manoeuvrable alien invader.
Later it transpired to be the result of fevered imagination and interaction of a male Ruddy Darter dragonfly with a 7mm scale railway.
