Strathspey Railway

Running from Aviemore, through Boat of Garten to Broomhills (Extension to Granton on Spey is underway but not yet completed).   It’s been a couple of years since we last visited.

This is an excellent journey with great views to be had of the cairngorms.  I can particularly recommend their Afternoon Tea Service for a great day out.  My next foray will have to be their evening dining service (post lockdown obviously) which sounds a wonderful experience.

Well maintained stations, engines and carriges make for a great visit.   Aviemore is a busy place (particularly in summer months) so services can be busy.  It would be best to book in advance if you possibly can.

Here are a few photos from our visits.

Kieth and Dufftown Railway

Whilst on holiday in the highlands during 2018 we paid a visit to the village of Dufftown.   We had spotted the station on a previous visit and this time decided to pay a visit and take a trip on their heritage DMU to Kieth Town station at the other end of the line.

There is a nice shop on the platform at Kieth Town and a great buffet at Dufftown station.  Well worth a visit if your into railways and are in the area.
