点评:On our last full day (2 February, 2026) in Inverness we decided to take the train to Kyle of Lochalsh and walk across the bridge to the Isle of Skye. We took the 8:55am train and had it almost to ourselves. It was on time, the personnel were helpful and patient, and the views along the route were worth the trip even without walking to Isle of Skye. (We had been a little concerned that we would not be able to see much from the train.)
Had lunch at Hector's Bothy Cafe and Bar -- very good fish and chips. Then started the walk.
Fairly easy walk, although VERY windy going across the bridge. Fabulous views from several different vantage points. Walked through the village of Kyleakin and up to the war memorial. Tried to walk to the Castle Moil ruins, but we had not planned well enough and decided we were not sure enough of the trail to attempt it.
We took the last train (17:13) back to Inverness, which meant it was dark most of the way. (Winter -- early sunset.) In retrospect, we probably could have walked across the bridge, seen the war memorial, left off the Castle Moil ruins entirely, walked back to Kyle of Lochalsh, bought a takeway lunch to take onto the train and caught the 13:46 train back to Inverness, which would have been more scenic. A summer trip would not have this disadvantage.

我们在Hector's Bothy咖啡馆和酒吧吃了午餐——炸鱼薯条非常美味。然后开始徒步。
这段路走起来相当轻松,不过过桥的时候风非常大。从几个不同的观景点都能欣赏到绝美的景色。我们穿过凯尔金村,一直走到战争纪念碑。我们尝试走到莫伊尔城堡遗址,但由于计划不够周全,而且对路线不太熟悉,所以决定放弃尝试。
我们搭乘最后一班火车(17:13)返回因弗内斯,这意味着大部分路程都是在黑暗中度过的。(冬季——日落较早。)现在回想起来,我们或许可以步行穿过桥,参观战争纪念碑,完全放弃莫伊尔城堡遗址,步行返回凯尔洛哈尔什,买份外卖午餐带上火车,然后搭乘13:46的火车返回因弗内斯,这样沿途的风景会更加优美。如果是夏季出行,就不会有这样的不便。
