Ballachulish (Glencoe)
The terminus of the former Caledonian Railway branch line from Connel Ferry to Ballachulish at Easter 1966, just two weeks after its 28th March closure. The goods shed and loco shed can be seen north of the passenger station, with Loch Leven beyond. During the last decade of the railway's life it had been mooted that the line could be extended across Loch Leven to Fort William, less than 15 miles to the north, to allow closure of the 63 miles of circuitous West Highland Line over remote Rannoch Moor north of Crianlarich - but this imaginative proposal came to nothing.
