Kyle Line itinerary

From the train station it's about a ten minute walk to the village centre. Situated in a sheltered bay of Loch Carron, Plockton is picture-perfect. In the summer months, you can take a boat trip on the sea loch and discover an array of wildlife wonders, from elusive otters to sleek herons - and the promise of seeing a seal comes with a money-back guarantee!

Afterwards (or alternatively), take a stroll. The coastline of the village begs to be explored, with its beautiful shoreline of fine white sand. A walk to the bay known as Coral beach is well worth it for anyone who wants to enjoy some fresh sea air and stretch their legs.

Regardless of whether it is day or night, it's always very pleasant to walk along the banks of the River Ness and explore the Ness Islands, a series of small wooded islands connected by footbridge. If you've got a few hours to fill during the day, you could visit the Inverness Botanic Gardens or the Inverness Museum & Art Gallery, two of the city's great attractions.

In the evening, you might catch some live folk and traditional music at pubs such as Hootanannay or Gellions Bar, and enjoy a large glass of your favourite tipple (that'll be Scotch whisky, of course!) and some toe-tapping tunes. You could also check out city's events at arts and music venues, such as the Ironworks and Eden Court Theatre.

Looking for the next step in your adventure? Then consider taking the Far North Line to see the north of Scotland - and maybe even venture from the mainland to the Orkney Isles! Or, plan a day out to explore Loch Ness.
