Notes:
In Highland Survivor, David Spaven has drawn from his own experience, and from newly-unearthed archive sources, to relate the story of the Far North Line. He also provides a unique collection of 80 previously unpublished photographs, hand-drawn maps of key periods in the Line's history, railwaymen's stories, and eye- witness accounts of the Line. The railway from Inverness to Wick and Thurso is Britain's most northerly and, at 168 miles, longest rural line. It is also the country's most remarkable rail survivor. Completed in 1874, the Far North Line was, until the second half of the 20th-century, the main means of transport from Inverness to Ross-shire, Sutherland, Caithness and Orkney.
