Places to see in ( Kyle of Lochalsh - UK )
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.

Inverness & Kyle of Lochalsh in August 1993
Video taken on two successive Wednesdays on the Inverness - Kyle of Lochalsh line - 18th & 25th August 1993. The primary aim was to lineside and travel on the 12:35 from Inverness and the 17:05 return from Kyle of Lochalsh, which was supposed to be the celebrity pair of 26s, 007 [D5300] & 001 [D5301].
On the 18th August I arrived at Kyle by road and observed 37232 arrive and carry out some shunting, then drove to Plockton to view the 26s pass there, followed by 37232 heading back to Inverness. In the evening, the 26s are seen at Dingwall crossing 37402 on their return to Inverness.
In the evening at Inverness, lines of stored locos are seen [if anyone can tell me which ones they might be, it would be nice], along with 37428 moving on to the fuel point, followed by the 26s shunting the stock out of the platform and then on to the fuel point. 08782 shunts coaches.
On 25th August, stored locos in the line adjacent to the station were 26035, 37215, 37111 & 37431. 37106 departs with a train to Aberdeen, which releases 37428. An unidentified Inter City liveried 37 stands by while 37428 goes to the fuel point. 37156 departs with a train to Kyle of Lochalsh. The 26s are then seen in the platform, followed by 37427 departing with an Aberdeen train, which releases 37402 to the fuel point.
Next, the 26s are seen at Garve waiting for a sprinter to cross, then from the train window at various points on the way to Kyle. At Kyle of Lochalsh the locos shunt the train to the other platform and then run round the train.
On the return, the locos are seen working hard occasionally from the windows and at Dingwall, they cross 37402 again. The locos are seen in the platform at Inverness then shunting the train out of the station, then on to the fuel point.
Finally, on the morning of 26th August 37402 passes the level crossing at Bunchrew.
There is some wind noise on the audio, some of which I have suppressed.

BY SHIP MALLAIG to KYLE OF LOCHALSH in 1964
I'll continue touring Scotland by rail soon. But to reach the next line I had to take a ferry.
Back in the 1960s the ferry service to Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides ran from Mallaig calling at Kyle of Lochalsh to connect with trains from Inverness. But nowadays the Stornoway ferry service uses Ullapool - linked to Inverness by road.
So I don't think you could repeat this journey by public transport today.

Scotland with Great Rail Journeys
Scotland is, undoubtedly, unmatched in terms of scenery and tradition. The contrasting cities of Edinburgh, filled with elegant buildings crowned by the ancient Edinburgh Castle, and Glasgow, filled with marvellous modern wonders, are in themselves fabulous to explore, whilst the wild and wonderful highlands and islands are breathtaking to behold.
A favourite of Great Rail Journeys, we take our customers to all the best places in Scotland. Our tours usually start in Edinburgh, where you can wonder up the famous Royal Mile, or perhaps immerse yourself in the local culture with a trip to the Edinburgh Tattoo. From here, you travel on a line that is consistently voted one of the most beautiful rail journeys in the world: the West Highland Line. Sometimes travelling on board The Jacobite, other times on Scotland’s excellent ScotRail service, this incredible journey is certainly not one to be missed. As well as this line, we also travel on the Kyle Line, the Strathspey Railway, and on the Cairngorm Mountain Railway, to see this awe-inspiring country from its best angle.
Julian Appleyard takes you through some of our favourite Scottish tours in this video, describing the unmatched scenery, incredible rail journeys, and of course the excellent accommodation and food that are designed to enthral and delight our customers.
For more information on our tours, their itineraries and prices, be sure to take a look at our website at greatrail.com or give us a ring on 01904 521936.
