Old Photograph Achterneed Scotland

Old photograph of Achterneed, Scotland. Achterneed railway station was a railway station serving Strathpeffer on the Kyle of Lochalsh Line, in Wester Ross, Scotland. Opened in 1870, the station was sited to the north of Strathpeffer between Dingwall and Garve. It was initially called Strathpeffer but the name was changed when the branch line to that town from Dingwall opened in 1885. The station was opened by the Dingwall and Skye Railway, but operated from the outset by the Highland Railway. Taken into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, the line then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. The station was closed by the British Railways Board in 1965.

Tour Scotland Photograph Loch Garry

Tour Scotland photograph of Loch Garry and Glen Garry, near Fort Augustus, Scotland. Loch Garry is much photographed from the A87 for its romantic setting and also because a quirk of perspective makes it appear like a map of Scotland. The Glen used to be home of the Clan MacDonnell of Glengarry, but since the Highland Clearances the population has been reduced to a handful of estates. The main activities are deerstalking and forestry, with little tourism apart from munro baggers seeking some spectacularly remote mountains at the head of the glen. The lonely road along the north side of Loch Garry continues past Loch Quoich to Kinlochhourn from where a footpath continues to Knoydart.
