Take the train from Strathcarron to Kyle and back: one of the great train journeys. Beautiful views and good lunch choices in Kyle.

The Kyle Line is 120km long and takes about two-and-a-half hours, travelling on a single track for most of the way. Although it is often referred to as starting in Inverness, this branch line actually starts in Dingwall, just outside Inverness although it is linked to the Highland capital.

This track also winds its way through ancient forests and peaty bog, where deer roam freely and eagles soar. A great spot for deer watching is on the downhill slope between Loch Luichart to Garve, a village that comes up very soon after Dingwall. Another beauty to keep your eyes peeled for, soon after Dingwall, is the isolated peak of Ben Wyvis.
