Narrow Gauge in Caithness

We crossed back from Orkney today and drove via John O'Groats and Wick before heading south through Inverness. About 6 miles north of Wick on the A99 we drove over a narrow gauge (metre-gauge) line. This was a surprise and it needed to be investigated. .... This post is the result.

Did you manage a trip across Scapa Flow to Lyness while you were over in Orkney Roger.
I've spent many happy weeks up there in the past diving on the WW1 German ships.

It his is a very tardy response, for which my profuse apologies. I forgot to follow my own post and so missed your question. The answer is Yes. We enjoyed the holiday in Orkney very much.
