I Went To The UK's Most Remote Station | Corrour

I went to the UK's most remote station. 10 miles from the nearest public road, Corrour railway station in the Scottish Highlands has an unparalleled sense of isolation.

After spending some time in the Loch Rannoch area, I head to Rannoch Station, a remote train station stop on the West Highland Line between Glasgow and Fort William. I catch a train into Scotland’s wilderness to reach Corrour railway station, known as the UK’s most remote train station and the UK’s highest mainline station.

Corrour Station is located in the middle of nowhere and the amazing Corrour Station House restaurant is a great place to stop for a coffee or a meal. The area surrounding Corrour train station is popular for outdoor activities and hillwalking, especially as there are some munros located nearby.

The beautiful Rannoch Moor is one of Scotland’s last wildernesses and the views from the train were spectacular. Corrour in Scotland is such a fantastic place to visit and I recommend it to those seeking solitude and looking to get away from it all.

WHO AM I?
If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!

P.S. Some of the links in this description are affiliate links that I get a kickback from.

As a 92 year old who knows these areas so well having worked in Skye 60 years ago your videos bring back so MANY HAPPY MEMORIES. My Sincere Thanks to you for your superb videos! keep up the good work!

Hello from one hatchd in Fort Gary, Winnipeg, Canada in 1952
I love trains.

[wallydug]

Love your videos, I'm a retired signalman, and at one time was offered the position of signalman at Rannoch, the job had a cottage going with it but the elderly couple who had retired were still in the cottage and I didn't want them forced from their home, I would have loved living and working there but ended up as a relief signalman at Dumbarton which was even better.

The way the stations at both Corrour and Rannoch have been preserved and made attractive to visitors, with the cafe and restaurant, is an imaginative bit of planning, to be applauded. The history of this line is interesting too. Like Venice, it survives atop a footing of timbers in swampy ground. 5000 men took 10 years to build it.
Amazing! Thanks Ruth for showing us this wild place.

out of all the Scotland channels you have the best sound quality of any. your views and timing are among the best.

[pamelajohnson]

So glad I found your channel…a trip down memory lane every time. Thank you. I remember collecting peat blocks with my grandfather from the bog at the end of the road, loading them into a wheelbarrow and then they went into the fire… nothing like it.😊

Ruth you've done it again. I want to go here so badly now! I can't believe you can get to one of Scotland's (and probably the world's) most remote places by train on a day-trip! It's so beautiful. I really want tempted to find someone to watch my cats for 6 months and drive around Scotland.

[paulpayton]

Hey I've been there I love it and the old steam trains bless you Ruth ❤😊

[carltonv]

Another great Video, knocking it out of the park again ❤
