点评:The line from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh is an amazing journey and I would highly recommend doing it if you enjoy beautiful scenery.
I last did this journey 36 years ago and I cannot say I remember it being so lovely. I have been looking for an opportunity to revisit the line so I finally made it.
There are trains running throughout the day between the two destinations and normally run about every two hours. The train leaves Inverness and immediately veers left to take you over the River Ness and the Caledonian Canal. You skirt alongside the Moray Firth and stop at stations to Dingwall. The line veers left away from the Far North line and the Cromarty Firth and pass through the Dingwall suburbs and back into countryside.
Along the way pass a number of lochs including Loch Luichart which is AMAZING. I got a morning train and as we passed there was mist across the loch making it look very otherworldly.
As we left Achnasheen the land becomes quite desolate and I wondered if any humans have walked among some of the countryside. The train stops at Strathcarron and from here the line creeps along the side of the water with the road next to you as well as cottages and small villages.
The train soon approaches Plockton where there are quite a few little houses as well as little islands with trees on them. From here it is not long to Kyle of Lochalsh where years ago you would get the ferry to Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye. Nowadays you whizz through this little village and take the bridge over to the island.
Do take time to have a wander round this place as it is really lovely. I highly recommend the station museum to learn about the line and a history of the area.
翻译:从因弗内斯到洛哈尔什的凯尔线是一段奇妙的旅程,如果您喜欢美丽的风景,我强烈建议您尝试一下。
我上次旅行是在 36 年前,我不记得那次旅行有多美。我一直在寻找机会重游这条线路,所以我终于做到了。
两地之间全天都有火车运行,通常每两小时一班。火车从因弗内斯出发,立即左转,带您穿过尼斯河和喀里多尼亚运河。您沿着马里湾绕行,在丁沃尔的车站停靠。这条线路从远北线和克罗马蒂湾左转,穿过丁沃尔郊区,回到乡村。
沿途经过许多湖泊,包括令人惊叹的卢查特湖。我乘坐早班火车,经过时,湖上弥漫着薄雾,看起来非常超凡脱俗。
当我们离开阿克纳希恩时,土地变得相当荒凉,我想知道是否有人曾在这片乡村中行走过。火车停在斯特拉斯卡伦,从这里开始,铁路沿着水边缓缓前行,旁边是道路、小屋和小村庄。
火车很快就到了普洛克顿,那里有不少小房子,还有长满树木的小岛。从这里到凯尔洛哈尔什不远,几年前你可以在那里乘渡轮前往斯凯岛的凯莱金。如今,你可以快速穿过这个小村庄,走上桥去岛上。
一定要花点时间在这个地方闲逛,因为它真的很漂亮。我强烈推荐车站博物馆,了解这条线路和该地区的历史。
