This was part of a coach holiday in the Highlands and what a great experience it was too. Passing through some stunning scenery lochs and mountains from Inverness to Lochalsh a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon. A couple of tips for those intending to take this trip. If you get on at Inverness try to nab a window seat on the right side of the train as this is where you get the best views. Also take a packed lunch with you as there weren't any onboard catering facilities the day I caught it. Take your camera with you and enjoy!

we took a ride on this very scenic train journey from Inverness to the terminus at Kyle of Lochalsh and back on a fine weather Valentines day. Left bang on time at 10.56 on a 2 coach class 170 DMU which had clean windows on the north facing (more scenic) side of the coach which had been washed whilst the train was being prepared at the platform 10 minutes before we left.
The first 10 miles aren't to scenic but then the Highlands unfold and there are lots of great views to be had all the way along the line which takes around 2 hours 30 minutes to reach the terminus at Kyle of Lochalsh where there is a 10 minute stop to stretch your legs and take a few pictures of the nearby Ilse of Skye road bridge/views and the station buildings. Top tip, be sure to take food and drinks as there isn't a refreshment trolley on the train.
We opted to return on the same train but there is the option of a 2+ hours stay and catching a later train, but check the times as it's a long way back by road/taxi if you miss it.
The waterside views are really memorable and the early morning stillness provides a mirror image reflection of the mountains that just made our day.
For around £20 each this trip provided us with over 5 hours of the most wonderful scenery Scotland has to offer, a truly great British railway journey through the scenic Highlands.

We traveled from Kyle to Inverness in mid August and we thoroughly enjoyed the scenery, especially the bit between Kyle and Strathcarron. The countless amount of tiny islands covered by different kinds of trees are just breathtaking to watch. The eastern bit until Inverness is alright, but can't quite compete with the first half of the journey, in our opinion.
The train journey itself, admittedly, wasn't too comfortable, as the train was completely packed and rather noisy. However, the available infrastructure simply doesn't allow for more or longer trains, as we were being told by the (very friendly) train manager. Most of the line is single-track and unelectrified.
It's also worth reading about the history of this line: some sections date from the second half of the 19th century. A remarkable engineering achievement, given the fact how remote and rough this part of the country is.

It is well over 40 years since I last went on this railway line and I'd forgotten just how scenic it was! We travelled from Kyle to Inverness on a glorious sunny day. Sit on the left hand side for the best views.
The stretch out of Kyle along the coast is superb. Plockton nestled along the loch shore looks delightful. Along Loch Caron, we could see small settlements along the oppsoite shore line before climbing up through the mountains with views of small lochs and Achnasheen and Achanalt - a few houses around the station buildings. There's not much across the tops apart from views!
It was then dropping down through the slightly larger settlement of Garve before headaing for Dingwall with the Thurso and Wick line branching off , Beauly and then along the Beaauly Firth with views of teh Black Isle and Kessock Bridge.
At the end of May, the bluebells were still in flower along the trackside and there was lots of Rhododendron around the settlements.
All in all a lovely run, but be warned the train does get busy!

Meget smuk natur oplevelse langs banen - er du heldig kan du se hjorte undervejs. Husk at besøge museet på stationen i Kyle.

Fantastisk tågresa som bjuder på ett omväxlande och delvis dramatiskt landskap. Om man tänker åka denna resa som en dagsutflykt så håll koll på tågtiderna. Det går bara ett fåtal tåg per dag.

Travelled on 7/6/22 on the 13:46 from Kyle. Carriage A The weather was nice but not wall to wall ☀️ And the views were amazing, however this was really spoilt but the but the heat on the train which was unbearable, like most trains you can’t open a window.
To make matters worse, part way along the journey there was a strong smell of fuel fumes, which when we were informed that someone was travelling with a strummer and it had leaked!! Personally I didn’t think that kind of item (something with fuel) should even be on the train!!?
So what could have been a really enjoyable ride to Inverness ended up being awful. The horrendous heat combined with the fuel fumes meant I got off at Inverness feel dreadful and suffering a terrible migraine and literally went straight to bed in the Royal Highland.
I have emailed Scotrail directly about this.
Although the train ride was really uncomfortable, the customer service received following my complaint was dealt with and resolved extremely quickly and professionally.

We were based in Plockton for a week and could regularly see and hear the trains on the line just across the bay from the village. We would also often hear the horn sound just before the trains passed Duncraig Station at Duncraig Castle.
We decided to drive to Kyle of Lochalsh and take a return trip to Strathcarron.
It was lovely to see the coastline and villages from a different viewpoint as we passed through Duirinish, Plockton, Duncraig, Stromeferry and Attadale before arriving at Strathcarron.
Alighting at 1428 gave us just over an hour to visit the Strathcarron Hotel. It was our dog Glen's first train journey, which he enjoyed on the whole, although the broom branches hitting the windows from time to time gave him a bit of a fright. As we had Glen with us we messaged ahead and were pleased to be informed that if dogs are permitted inside. All in all a brilliant way to spend an afternoon with lots of photo and video opportunities along the way.

Listed in Top Ten Scenic Train Journeys in UK & it certainly deserves the placing without a doubt. We followed on Google Maps the two & half hour journey from Inverness so we knew which of the six, seven or eight lochs we were passing along the way. By far the biggest & for us the most spectacular, was almost at the end of the journey - Lochcarron.
With just over two hours in Kyle before the return train it gave us ample time for a light lunch at Hector's Bothy, an ice cream & a stroll around the harbour.
Boat trips open from April 1st so more to do from Kyle then
A return journey is on my bucket list

It's a long but beautiful day. Have a beautiful meal at the Kyle Hotel, but why not stay one night and take the local bus out to Eilean Donan Castle for a truly remarkable view. (Excuse the spelling)

Planning to take Inverness - Kyle of Lochalsh trip on a Monday in September. Is it essential to book before the day (although it would presumably be cheaper?) Also, can you get off, say at Plockton, and on again on any type of ticket?
Many thanks.

Hi, it’s almost a suburban service. We purchased at tick at the station on the day. Stopping and getting on and off is possible but something you can sort at the station when you purchase the tickets. Cheers Iaen

Hi, I booked in advance simply because it was cheaper, I think they would allow you to get on and off the train but perhaps best to call Scot Rail about that. It is a very impressive trip - equal to the Glenfinnan Viaduct .

Is it possible to travel by rail (Kyle Line) from Kyle of Lochlash , north- east, via Plockton to Dingwall, then Inverness during September. I can't book on the Scotrail site as it doesn't display the timetable or calendar for September 2018. Any advice how best to do this rail trip would be appreciated. Thank you Suzanne, Brisbane Australia

Can you make seat reservations? Comments on here appear to suggest you can, but the ScotRail website does not seem to reserve seats

You can essentially request a seat if you make a higher class reservation. That seat is not guaranteed, but is likely your seat reservation. It would be confirmed closer to the journey.
Some rail journeys don't take reservations and you just have to claim a seat, but I claimed my seat on this journey I believe.

When I went on the train we had our seats booked by the travel company we were travelling with, so yes you can book seats. many other people not in our party also had reserved seats. Hope this helps
