Advantages: Impressive scenery Disadvantages: Cold carriages, weather can be a factor in spoiling views, not many services
Strathcarron station, and once you've got a couple of mile beyond Loch Dughaill, look back at the mountains north of the line, and you'll spot "Wellington's Nose" (the mountain's real name is Fuar Tholl), a feature that looks like a face in profile staring directly upwards.
Beyond Strathcarron the line follows the southern shoreline of Loch Carron very tightly, with only the road to Kyle between it and the mountains behind. As the line bends around the various bays and inlets between Strathcarron and Strome Ferry (the old ferry landing point before the road was built), watch for otters and herons directly below the train on the shore. I counted a couple of otters and at least a dozen herons - the otters were spooked a little by the train but there was still enough time to see them. You should also try to tear your eyes away from this to see ...

that his "girlfriend won't stop sleeping with other men!" or her "mother needs to stop eating or she'll die!").
You could be forgiven for thinking, prior to the arrival of the guests, that Jeremy Kyle is a serious discussion show. There is no audience participation, save for boos and cheers at appropriate intervals, and Jeremy adopts a serious, no-nonsense approach to the subject matter.

a. alcoholics
b. teenage and pregnant
c. toothless or
d. serial philanderers

Everyone?s heard of the Jeremy Kyle Show (ITV 2) by now. A judge has called it a form of human bear-baiting and it recently caused another furore by ?inadvertently? broadcasting a swear word. The format is simple enough. Kyle, who looks like a cross between a particularly miffed warthog and a premiership footballer whose name I don?t know, invites contestants (?guests? is too genteel a word) onto the show to thrash out deeply personal problems in front of a TV audience of a few million, in exchange for his sagely advice and a night in a cheap hotel in Manchester with free run of the mini-bar (that?s probably not true, by the way).
The problems typically consist of alcoholism, drug dependency, ?am I the real father? scenarios, ?my daughter is going off the rails? narratives, ?Mum, your being a 70-year-old stripper is quite embarrassing ...
