Title: Over the country towards Skye
Post by: grahame on March 06, 2025, 06:36:26
A clue in the title - but can you name the stations. Writeup, further pictures to follow - perhaps.  Far more material and things to do piling in than I can turn round into output

1, yes, Inverness and 2 is indeed Beauly - said to be the shortest platform on the UK network. Sorry - 4 is not Dingwall.

6 is Kyle - so maybe the lack of a "not in order" disclaimer is justified.

They are in an order - but not the order in which I took them.

All the right notes,  not necessarily in the right order I'll give you that ...

5.  I think that's Altnabreac .  :-[

None of them are Garve for Braemore...

No Dingwall, no Garve - though I could find pictures. No Altnabraec either - though that's not even on the Kyle line.

If they are in order, 5 has to be Duirinish.

Yes, it is

5.  I was always rather doubtful about my own answer - hence my qualifying it with, "I think that's ... ".  ;D

Duirinish (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duirinish_railway_station) it is - I concede.
