Kyle of Lochalsh is a small village on the North-West coast of Scotland , which developed in the late 19th Century with the arrival of the railway. The village remains the terminus of The Kyle Of Lochalsh Line .

Kyle of Lochalsh is located just opposite the Isle Of Skye where a new Road Bridge joins the mainland to the island. The village is the transport and shopping centre for the area as well as having a harbour, Marina with pontoons for maritime visitors. The surrounding scenery and wildlife are regarded as attractions of the village, as is the slow pace of life.
