I remember doing this with my wife in 2016 on holiday. Quite a trek on the train from Plymouth. We would definitely do it again! Simply stunning. We got off at Plockton and walked into the town for a cake and a drink. It's lovely there. We then walked back to Duncraig Castle. The station was built for the owner. It was also a warm day, and then it chucked it down for a spell (quite refreshing tbh). Thanks for the video.

A wonderful watch. Its said that the section of line from Stromeferry to Kyle was, per mile, the most expensive stretch of railway engineering ever to be undertaken at that time, costing £250,000. With the large amount of blasting required to hew out 31 rock cuttings and also because 29 bridges were constructed. The building of the ten-and-a-half-mile stretch took four years, almost as long as the 53 miles between Dingwall and Stromeferry.

As for Achnasheen . . . . at that time it appeared to have a VERY CONGENIAL hotel-restaurant, which was full of people apparently enjoying a slap-up luncheon.

I actually thought at the beginning that you were going to depart from what's left of Platform 7 at Inverness - it looks about enough for a two-car unit, though goodness knows when this did last occur... Yes, it definitely is worth making the trip from Inverness to Ullapool - and onto Stornoway, for that matter... I'm not sure whether it's still possible to do the NC500 by public transport - it was for a few weeks in the peak summer season when it was first advertised - though I imagine there will be a gap between Kinlochbervie & Durness otherwise - unless you're prepared to travel via Lairg, that is... There may also be a gap between Ullapool and Aultbea - I can't remember which route Westerbus takes... Lewis and Harris have pretty good coverage - there's even a both-ways Stornoway - Borve - Carloway - Callanish - Stornoway circuit possible; and the bus connects at Leverburgh with the Berneray ferry, for further connections to North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist & Eriskay - of Whisky Galore! fame - and the Barra ferry - for yet more bus connections... You're probably right about the station house at Achnasheen - there used to be an hotel right next door, maybe it used to be used for community functions too.

ah yes, the NC500. That does sound like a challenge, but also a difficult one, for the reasons you helpfully describe here. but, as I have exhausted the train route out of Inverness, I really should go back and fill in the gaps using the local buses and some ferries too!
