The railway from Dingwall to Kyle of Lochalsh in 1974

Another gem from BBC Archive, which is well worth subscribing to on YouTube. 

Derek Cooper and his wonderful BBC voice travel the 63 miles from Dingwall to Kyle of Lochalsh by train. Cooper meets some of the people who live and work along the route.

This is a clip from a programme screened in 1974, when the future of the line was in doubt. Happily, it's still open today.

I've taken the train to Mallaig and to Wick and Thurso, but not yet been on this line.
