Banavie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Banavie (Scottish Gaelic: Bainbhidh) is a small settlement near Fort William in the Highland Region of Scotland.
It was formerly where the Camanachd Association, the ruling body of shinty was based, but this has now been moved to Inverness.
The Caledonian Canal passes nearby here.
[edit] Banavie station
The railway station serving the village is on the West Highland Line. Three or four trains a day use the line in either direction. Services are operated by First ScotRail.
There is a signal box which houses the control centre for the line's radio controlled signalling system. Control is placed here so that the staff can operate the adjacent swing bridge over the Caledonian Canal.
