Altnabreac railway station is a rural railway station serving the tiny settlement of Altnabreac, Highland, a settlement in which the station is itself the main component. The station is on the Far North Line, within the former county of Caithness 66 km (41 miles) west of Wick.
One of Britain's most isolated stations, it is a request stop used almost solely by walkers and those who enjoy visiting obscure locations.
The station was opened by the Sutherland and Caithness Railway on 28 July 1874 and later absorbed by the Highland Railway. Taken into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, the line then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
