** This is the third of five or six Scotland by Rail blog posts in which I'll write about a week exploring from Helmsdale Station self-catering on Scotland's beautiful Far North Line **
In August 2018 we
spent a week staying in Helmsdale Station self-catering accommodation
on the Far North Line from Inverness to Wick and Thurso.
My previous Helmsdale posts:
A wet weather idea - if you get a rainy one why not get the train to Inverness and back, just sit and watch out the windows. I love doing that, the journey is the reason. In this third post you can see all the sketches I made from the train during one Inverness to Helmsdale journey, plus two from a different day stuck on at the end.
How to get there:
Trains to Helmsdale take just over two and a half hours from Inverness and an hour and a quarter from Thurso. There are currently four trains a day on weekdays and Saturdays and one a day on Sundays.
