Bound For Loch Skerrow Halt

A selection of images of a walk to Loch Skerrow Halt along the route of the former Portpatrick Railway. Loch Skerrow Halt was opened in June 1861 and renamed Lochskerrow on 13 June 1955; it was finally closed on 9 September 1963. Further information can be found at: LinkExternal link

Loch Skerrow Halt is some 4.5 miles from the nearest village and offers a tremendous sense of isolation.
