West Highland Line, Railway line in Glasgow, Great Britain

The West Highland Line extends 164 miles from Glasgow through the Scottish Highlands, connecting major stations at Fort William and terminating at the port of Mallaig.

The railway construction began in 1889 when Fort William residents requested their own rail connection, leading to the first train service between Glasgow and Fort William in 1894.

The railway route passes through traditional Highland settlements, providing transportation links that maintain connections between remote Scottish communities throughout the year.

ScotRail operates three daily services from Glasgow Queen Street Station to Fort William and Mallaig, with reduced frequency during weekends and winter months.

The Corrour station, situated on Rannoch Moor, stands as one of Britain's most isolated railway stations, accessible exclusively by train or long-distance walking.
