Heritage Along the Kyle Line

The Kyle railway line crosses Ross-shire from Dingwall to Kyle of Lochalsh. Along the way it moves through areas of scenic beauty, but also areas of rich heritage. This course will provide three communities training on how to find out about local heritage, and then the opportunity to produce a local display showcasing the heritage along their section of the route. In 2011, a final course will pull together all of the research, and produce a leaflet and MP3 commentary for visitors and tourists alike. Thanks to support from ScotRail, some of the sessions take place on the train.

Kyle of Lochalsh to Strathcarron

A course held in spring 2010 looked at the western section of the route. From rock shelters to avalanche shelters, bog butter to axeheads, castles to croft houses - there was a wealth of evidence to assemble and choose from.
