Highland Main Line

The Highland Main Line is a railway in Scotland, linking the cities of Perth and Inverness. As its name suggests, it passes through the Scottish Highlands.

The route is 118 miles (190 km) long. It includes the highest point on Britain's main line railway network, at Druimuachdar Summit, 1,484 feet above sea level. Much of the line is single track, with passing loops at most of the stations and several other locations. The 23-mile stretch between Blair Atholl and Dalwhinne, over the summit at Druimuachdar, is double track.

Some history of the line can be found on the Highland Main Line Community Rail Partnership's website: LinkExternal link

The Cairngorms National Park, in the Highlands of Scotland, is the largest of the UK's National Parks. Covering an area of more than 4,500 square kilometres, it comprises a variety of landforms, from mountain peaks to low-lying valleys.
