The Highland Railway was a Scottish railway company established in 1865, primarily serving the northern and western regions of Scotland. It played a crucial role in connecting remote areas to larger cities, facilitating trade and travel. The railway was known for its scenic routes, including the famous West Highland Line, which offers breathtaking views of the Scottish Highlands. In 1923, the Highland Railway became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) during a major railway grouping in the UK. Despite this change, the legacy of the Highland Railway continues to influence Scotland's rail network, preserving its historical significance and cultural heritage.
