Incline Head [Craigmore]: This is the start of the level portion of the quarry tramway as it sets out from the incline head to the Aberfoyle slate quarries. The telegraph pole seen here is the only one remaining intact on the route. There was a hut on left of which nothing remains.

Incline Head [Craigmore]: The incline can be seen running downhill to Aberfoyle in this view. The higher portion is quite easy to see, there are two fir trees, but further down its course passed through the forested area down to the old schoolhouse. It was straight and at the incline bottom it turned off to the left to reach the car park, former Aberfoyle station site, visible at the top left.

Achterneed: A Kyle - Inverness working passes through the remains of the former station at Achterneed in July 1979. The station opened in 1870 as Strathpeffer but when a branch was opened directly serving the town it was renamed Achterneed and remained as such until closing in 1964.
