Title: Ness Islands line, Inverness, Scotland, for sale Post by: grahame on April 17, 2018, 15:20:46 From the Highland News (https://www.highland-news.co.uk/News/End-of-the-line-for-Islands-miniature-railway-17042018.htm)
Quote A MINIATURE railway line used by thousands of tourists and locals every year could be forced to close if no-one can be found to run it. Ill health means the owner of the Ness Islands ride, Ian Young, has been left with no option but to sell up the railway which he created and has operated for more than 35 years. Without a buyer, the retired electrician fears it could be the end of the line for the popular attraction. Quote Island railways in Scotland have a poor history ... remember the Isle of Mull line, closed 2010.
