The Strathspey steam Railway between Boat of Garten and Aviemore with the Cairngorms mountains. SCO 6190


The social, commercial and agricultural development of Badenoch and Strathspey, over the last 150 years, owes much to the railways. With that in mind, the Strathspey Railway seeks to involve schools, colleges and the community generally through organised visits, shed open days, projects and other educational activities such as giving talks to groups. An important 'spin off' of such involvement would be stimulating more interest in our railway heritage and increasing recruitment to learn, and keep alive, the diverse tradtional skills needed to keep a steam railway running.
