We took the afternoon train to Mallaig, a five hour ride - very scenic ride as we went north. We arrived
after dark - this far north, the sun sets about 3:30 in the afternoon. We checked into our inn, then went for a walk and found a cafe for dinner.
It was a small train station in a small town, lots of fog and mist.
There is a very nice Co-op store near the train station.
Mallaig is an active port.
There is still an old landline payphone in an old style phone booth, but it will be removed soon.
There appears to be a section of town across the bay that has a number of second homes.
The port includes both the working port area above as well as a section for recreational boaters.
We had a nice dinner at a local restaurant, a great stay in local hotel that included breakfast and then we were off again for a day of train rides to get to Inverness.
