Join us for a spectacular Driver's Eye View journey along one of Scotland's most iconic railway routes – the magnificent Highland Main Line from Perth to Inverness.

In this video we travel through the heart of the Scottish Highlands, following a railway that has connected the north of Scotland with the rest of Britain for over 160 years. Discover the fascinating history behind the line, why it was built, and the incredible engineering achievements that made this remarkable railway possible.

Along the way we'll pass through beautiful stations including Dunkeld & Birnam, Pitlochry, Blair Atholl, Dalwhinnie, Newtonmore, Kingussie and Aviemore, before crossing the famous Drumochter Summit, the highest point on Britain's main line railway network, and the challenging Slochd Summit on our way to Inverness.

Learn about Victorian engineer Joseph Mitchell, the construction of the Highland Railway, the opening of the Aviemore Direct Line, and how the route continues to play a vital role today for ScotRail, LNER, the Caledonian Sleeper and freight services.
