Kyle of Lochalsh Line Steam Drivers Eye View

This DVD offers a driver’s-eye journey along one of the most scenic railways in the world, from Inverness to the Kyle of Lochalsh. The journey begins running alongside the Beauly Firth before turning inland at Dingwall to tackle the four-mile, 1 in 50 climb to Ravens Rock Summit. Climbing further to around 650 feet at Luib Summit, the train then descends once more to sea level, threading its way through some of the Highlands’ most breathtaking landscapes.

The route continues hugging the coastline around Loch Carron, with stunning views of the Isle of Skye en route, culminating at the picturesque terminus of Kyle of Lochalsh. This journey combines dramatic gradients, coastal scenery, and Highland vistas, making it a visually spectacular experience from the front of the train.

Live sound recorded from the locomotive enhances the realism of the journey, immersing viewers in the sights and sounds of this remarkable line. Multiple camera perspectives—including train-mounted, footplate, lineside, and aerial footage—provide a comprehensive view of the route and its surroundings.

With its combination of immersive cab footage, operational detail, and extraordinary scenery, this Driver’s Eye View DVD offers one of the most complete experiences of any UK railway line, capturing both the drama and beauty of Scotland’s iconic Kyle of Lochalsh route.
