Kyle of Lochalsh
View south down the access ramp to Kyle of Lochalsh Station in June 2011 with the normal operational line to the right hand platform, and the rarely used excursion lines and platform to the left. My first visit to the station was as a 16 year old in August 1963, with a group of fellow Wakefield Railfan Club members on a tour around Scottish installations, after we disembarked from the MacBrayne Ferry that at the time operated a service along the Sound of Sleet from Mallaig to Kyle. To pass time to departure of the train to Inverness we crossed over to Kyleakin on the chain ferry, and had a knock about with a ball on the beach. It was to be a further 48 years before setting foot on Skye again, with my now late wife, for a two nights stay at the Bosville Hotel in Portree. See image 34743.
