Lairg Railway Station
✓ Station Visit 265
A picnic breakfast at Lairg was the outcome of an earlier start than expected to a long day. Rudy visited
The Far North but not quite the far Far North, Lairg station was opened in 1868 as part of the Sutherland Railway about 66 miles from Inverness and 94 miles from Wick. Platform 1 is listed as only being accessed via the footbridge but there is also a footpath leading through a nearly hidden gate. Not accessible for many but more dog-friendly than the main road even though (or because?) it goes nowhere but directly into the woods and down to the river!
This photo? Well that's because I forgot to take my usual picture of the BR Double Arrow sign but did my best to capture it as our next train passed by!
