Harbour Reflections

This afternoon I caught the train at Arrochar and Tarbet to Mallaig. The West Highland Line from Glasgow to Fort William & Mallaig in Scotland is viewed as one of the greatest train journeys in the world. And rightly so, as the West Highland Line is not only the most scenic train route in Britain, it has to be one of my favourite journeys anywhere.

Built in the shadow of Ben Nevis, Fort William was reached by the first public train in 1894, but it was 1901 before the Mallaig extension was opened – one of the last railways to be built during the first railway age and a pioneer in the use of new methods by “Concrete Bob” McAlpine.

This evening after having some wonderful fish in chips I wandered around the harbour. These abstract reflections of a fishing boat caught my eye.
