The railway bridge over the River Orchy In 2003 the Railway Authorities banned use of the level crossing for pedestrian access to the Castle. A crossing previously used without incident for many decades. Ultimately a most helpful landowner suggested gaining access by walking beneath the rail bridge over the River Orchy some 200 yards NW of the car park.
