Built to connect Inverness to the south, the Dava Line served as the main route south until 1892 when the current Highland Mainline was built via Carrbridge. From Aviemore in the south the route passes through the wide and gentle Strathspey with glorious views of the Cairngorm mountains on the right until arriving at Grantown-on-Spey. From here the hard graft begins as the line climbs to the Dava summit, some 1046 ft high.

Hello!
I am Hamish, a software engineer and technologist, floating around on the British canals. From developing complex web apps to building detailed rail simulations, I enjoy creating all sorts of things. Although many of these never see the light of day, my more polished projects can be found here.
Away from the desk I am a keen photographer and publish some of my favourite shots here on this site.
