A clue in the title - but can you name the stations. Writeup, further pictures to follow - perhaps. Far more material and things to do piling in than I can turn round into output

1 looks like Inverness

2 is Beauly

4 looks like Dingwall
| Re: Over the country towards Skye Posted by grahame at 08:37, 6th March 2025 | |
1, yes, Inverness and 2 is indeed Beauly - said to be the shortest platform on the UK network. Sorry - 4 is not Dingwall.

4, Plockton?

6 is Kyle - so maybe the lack of a "not in order" disclaimer is justified.

They are in an order - but not the order in which I took them.

All the right notes, not necessarily in the right order I'll give you that ...

| Re: Over the country towards Skye Posted by grahame at 18:48, 6th March 2025 | |
So we have
1. Inverness
2. Beauly
3.
4. Plockton
5.
6. Kyle of Lochalsh
correctly identified

5. I think that's Altnabreac .
| Re: Over the country towards Skye Posted by Mark A at 20:08, 6th March 2025 | |
None of them are Garve for Braemore...

| Re: Over the country towards Skye Posted by grahame at 20:44, 6th March 2025 | |
No Dingwall, no Garve - though I could find pictures. No Altnabraec either - though that's not even on the Kyle line.

If they are in order, 5 has to be Duirinish.
| Re: Over the country towards Skye Posted by grahame at 21:14, 6th March 2025 | |
| Re: Over the country towards Skye Posted by Chris from Nailsea at 21:28, 6th March 2025 | |
5. I was always rather doubtful about my own answer - hence my qualifying it with, "I think that's ... ".
Duirinish it is - I concede.
| Re: Over the country towards Skye Posted by brooklea at 08:27, 7th March 2025 | |
And 3 is Conon Bridge; a station I’ve only visited once, but which is quite distinctive.
| Re: Over the country towards Skye Posted by grahame at 08:48, 7th March 2025 | |
All now correctly identified
1. Inverness
2. Beauly
3. Conon Bridge
4. Plockton
5. Duirinish
6. Kyle of Lochalsh
Pictures in geographic order (east to west). The order in which they were taken was Inverness - Duirinish - Plockton - Kyle of Lochalsh - Conon Bridge - Beauly - all done from 08:55 to 17:08. I have various out-the-window pictures of other stations, but have left those to be another excuse to go back up to get a better idea. Some of the pictures from in the train left a lot to be desired.
