I Went To The UK's Most Remote Station | Corrour

I went to the UK's most remote station. 10 miles from the nearest public road, Corrour railway station in the Scottish Highlands has an unparalleled sense of isolation.
After spending some time in the Loch Rannoch area, I head to Rannoch Station, a remote train station stop on the West Highland Line between Glasgow and Fort William. I catch a train into Scotland’s wilderness to reach Corrour railway station, known as the UK’s most remote train station and the UK’s highest mainline station.
Corrour Station is located in the middle of nowhere and the amazing Corrour Station House restaurant is a great place to stop for a coffee or a meal. The area surrounding Corrour train station is popular for outdoor activities and hillwalking, especially as there are some munros located nearby.
The beautiful Rannoch Moor is one of Scotland’s last wildernesses and the views from the train were spectacular. Corrour in Scotland is such a fantastic place to visit and I recommend it to those seeking solitude and looking to get away from it all.

    Hi Ruth, Fantastic video, I can see the Highlands and Islands tourist board hiring you to make their video. I love Rannoch and surrounding areas. I don't wish to criticise like airies, you pronounce Pitlochry perfectly just take the loch from the middle of that. I used to pull my caravan up to Rannoch if you were driving next to the loch you had to look out for the deer jumping across the road. You could also get groceries in the bank. The first time my wife and I went there the camp site was closed, when I stopped outside the gate and switched off my headlights it was pitch black. Your enthusiasm makes me want to get down to the station and jump on a train.

    The way the stations at both Corrour and Rannoch have been preserved and made attractive to visitors, with the cafe and restaurant, is an imaginative bit of planning, to be applauded. The history of this line is interesting too. Like Venice, it survives atop a footing of timbers in swampy ground. 5000 men took 10 years to build it. Amazing! Thanks Ruth for showing us this wild place.

    I’ve probably spoken to you at Craigendoran! Bill Gray moved up to Fort William Jnc when Yoker took over. Poor soul died in the box on the nightshift, I was banavie that night and the bulks driver phoned me when he got held at the inner home, he walked to the box and found Bill. Last time I was in Craigendoran I used it as a bothy when I was pilotman because the bells were down. The box wasn’t looking too great! Then I picked up the sleeper in the loop and headed home, probably 20 years ago now.

    Corrour station enabled the original landowner to bring barges by rail, and then ship building materials to the opposite side of Loch Ossian to construct a lodge, in the late 90s a new Corrour Lodge was built nearby (using a 26 mile long (dirt track) road for access). Dormitories were erected on site to house the construction workers and we had a ball living in the wilderness working on such a beautiful contemporary "castle". It was built for the owners of the Tetra-Pak company at the time, though I don't know who owns it now. Great content!!

    thurso is the northernmost town and railway station in mainland UK in scotlands highland province on atlantic coast facing orkney island and its capital kirkwall, a few kilometers away accessible by ferry. highway from central scotland also ends here, costco superstore being a prominent landmark of thurso town. the track section is from highland capital inverness. most stations in inverness thurso section are in wilderness and very remote. thurso to penzance, in cornwall, southwest england, is longest railway stretch in uk, about 2200 km. john o groates, another hamlet in northern coast, however, is not connected by scotrail. this is the viking zone of UK carrying history of norwegian invaders and settlements in past. amazing place on earth that is scotland. bagpiper sound never really leaves you even when you have left the land far behind for another country. and sipping glenfiddich in a faraway country, stokes those unforgettable memories.

    @@ruthaisling Of course it is. At the end of September of this year, I will also be riding the local Tadami Line, which connects Koide Station in Niigata Prefecture to Aizuwakamatsu Station in Fukushima Prefecture, and the Gono Line, which connects Akita Prefecture and Aomori Prefecture in the Tohoku region. I'm here. Both lines have many unexplored stations 😁🤚!! ️If you ever have a chance to see Ruth come to Japan again, please come and visit us. Have a nice journey 😄🤚!! ️

    The west highland line trip is amazing. The scenery is jaw dropping. Summer time is super busy so pre book a ticket, but I'd recommend going in autumn. Little less busy and the trees have thinned out a wee bit so you can see more. Autumn colours make the landscape a bit more interesting. Go to Mallaig from Glasgow to make a 12hr day of it.

    Thanks for sharing this unique place. Your beautiful drone shots emphasised how remote Corrour station really is. Having said that, the food and accomodations looked top notch for such a location. Can't believe trains come through every hour from places far and wide. In my heavily populated part of the USA we just have a single Amtrak train a day, passing through between New Orleans and New York City. Scotland is so civilized!
