Altnabreac

Altnabreac in Caithness is a small halt that the trains from Inverness pass through, close to the end of their journey from Inverness to Wick and Thurso in the north of Scotland.  Trains stop at this station 'on request'.

There are mountains and many small lochs within a ten mile radius of the station, but I found little evidence of any sign of habitation.  There is no main road to the station.

This view looks down the platform to the south-west.  The track here runs away from Wick and Thurso and eventually towards Inverness.

With the wide open spaces in this part of the country, the skies can look dramatic.
