Rannoch Station

Visitor information for Rannoch Moor train station in Scotland with photographs history and facilities



This was an interesting drive along the rugged hills by Kinloch Rannoch and Loch Rannoch with its Folly built on a stone Crannog. The roads to get to Rannoch Station (Raineach) are narrow and twisty so please do drive with care, though you will see little traffic. However the views are worth the trip and being able to say that you have been to the remotest train station in Scotland is fun. It is also a great place to get away from it all and enjoy the peacefulness that Scotland can offer.

My new novel:



The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

It is part of the West Highland Line so is popular with hill walkers, many arriving on the Glasgow or Fort William trains. These are infrequent, so the station is unmanned and monitored by CCTV. Phone reception is minimal so do plan your journey. There is a tearoom and visitor centre which opens to coincide with arrivals between March and October. We could not find any toilets. There is car parking.





It opened on 7 August 1894 and the construction workers had to build over the Moors tree roots with tons of ash and earth. There used to be a siding on the East side and the island platform remains. Unusually this is where the signal box can be found. There are lots of steps to get there and no disabled access that we could see.










An army veteran moves his family back to his Aberdeenshire home, but his nightmare neighbour starts a battle of wits with him. Who will win this One Last War?
