View westward, towards Georgemas Junction and the south: ex-Highland Railway (Far North line), Inverness - Dingwall - Georgemas Junction - Thurso/Wick. The line remains active, but the former station - just visible ahead - was closed from 13/6/60 (goods 18/5/64). Viewpoint is from the road bridge over the railway, and the hill and workings on the right are part of the Bower (stone) Quarry.
