Proper Highland Main Line territory here! Halfway between Perth and Inverness it's a good start for Munro Baggers. Lucky the cafe lets you visit even if you aren't climbing hills. Rudy visited Dalwhinnie on the 20th of September 2024 arriving at 14:01 on a train from Aviemore.

Halfway between Perth and Inverness and at 1,174ft above sea level, Dalwhinnie is the highest mainline railway station in Britain. Opened in 1863 the station buildings burned down in 1927. The Glasgow Herald reported that the stationmaster's body was found in his burnt out office with a single bullet wound to the head.
