Join us for a wee hike in and around Corrour Station. The highest mainline station in the UK!
Corrour train station is the highest mainline station in the UK. It's also one of the most stunning, unique places we have ever been. We spent a very enjoyable 6 hours in and around here on Saturday 17th July 2021. Join us as we hop on a train from Crianlarich to Corrour and then go for a walk up a mountain made famous by a certain Scottish movie! Would the weather stay on our side?

The reason there's "nothing there" is because it was originally intended as a simple passing loop with a signal box, and a building for signalman's accommodation, to break up the long single-track section between Rannoch and Tulloch, it was originally to be called Luibruaridh, which is the name of the locality, but it became useful for the Corrour Estate some miles away, as the signal box had the only telephone communication with the outside world, and it grew from there...
Alicja wins Best Photobombing 2021! Stuck inside and that really was a tonic, thank you.
laughing at Alicja in the background at the start. Great video, looks a stunning place
Not ideal for you, but it was a good lesson for newbies on how fast the weather can change up on the hills. If it closed in, you wouldn't find your way back to the station until you stumbled across the train track.
Brilliant guy's! You and Alicja certainly know how put together excellent and well thought out video's ,You two never fail to lift my spirits, Many thanks for that. Congrats for completing your trek to the top of the mountain, the views are worth the effort. BTW those toasties look good to me! Take care and stay safe.
Steve - when I was a teenager, I read "Kidnapped", and found out from an uncle that our ancestors came from the Highlands. I got obsessed with "romantic" Scotland - kilts, clans, Bonnie Prince Charlie, all that. (I
Corrour station was in Trainspotting. It was in the scene where Renton,Sick Boy,Spud and Tommy went on a train trip and Renton said "It's s***e being Scottish!" 🤣
Why do we look abroad so often to go and be lobster boiled beside a swimming pool when we have beautiful sightseeing trips to places like Corrour relatively on our doorstep? Truly stunning to watch. Thanks to both of you.
There is clearly no more beautiful a place on the planet than this country of ours.
The sheer magic of a sunny day in early spring in the Highlands. And besides all that, your videos really do breathe the milk of human kindness. Thanks for taking us along !
A train station specially for hikers. Brilliant. Took the wife , them girlfriend on the line to Fort William on her very first visit to Scotland. She loved it. That hike looked great and what a reward at the end.👍🏴🇳🇱
Wow, that is quite some place… And fabulous Scottish weather, all of it… Thanks for sharing.
Wow that was a fantastic-looking trip Steve ! I was very amused when you said quite early on that Corrour was a really remote station - then when you got off the train, so did about 30 or 40 other folk !! 😎
Nice to see😂 In 1986 we started a two week hiking tour from Corrour-station. The buildings have changed a bit since.😮 Our first camp was at blackwater-lake.. Sweet memories❤
Marvellous video - good to see someone who sells the experience of the journey as well as the sights at the end. As someone who travelled that way years ago - it is good to see it again. Thanks Steve !
Happy Saint David's day here in Wales Steve and alicja celebrating our patron Saint like the Scottish and Irish
Oh thank you! This is so on my bucket list. I saw it on the train from Fort William in the fall, all blond grasses and so remote, and thought I would love to come roam around. This is so helpful.
Another wonderful video the .scenery and a great station with yummy food but the hike wow 👌 👏
Great video. Beautiful part of the world
Lovely views in all directions
