Kinloch Rannoch Station and Tea Room

After failing miserably to be transported back in time at 'Craigh na Dun' I continued on the road to Kinloch Rannoch Railway Station. The road and scenery along this route is absolutely breathtaking. I could live in the middle of nowhere in a heartbeat. The Railway Station is a little gem and there is an amazing tea room in the redundant station buildings. You can still get on the London - Fort William train here. Along the shores of Kinloch Rannoch there are lots of places to stop and enjoy the sights.

Craigh na Dun - Outlander

With series 3 of Outlander now on our screens, I was inspired to take a trip to the location where they filmed the 'going through the stones' scenes. Fortunately I chose a lovely day to take the trip over towards Kinloch Rannoch. In this case I knew exactly where I was going, so there was no confused staring at clumps of trees trying to work out if I was in the correct location.  I pondered to myself what a great job it must be scouring the Scottish countryside for filming locations. In the news today it said the 'Outlander' effect has been a huge boost to many of the castles, houses used for filming, with visitor numbers way up. I would suggest it has been a good tourism season anyway. I think 90% of my guests in July and August were from Germany, Netherlands etc.
Anyway I reached the desired location and imagined the filming taking place. The 'stones' were not real, so have been long removed.
