A dream job opportunity has arisen for someone looking to escape the rat race and move to one of Scotland's most beautiful and remote locations.
Corrour Station House, which is only accessible by train or a 20-mile hike, is offering two people a unique way to experience the wonder of the Scottish Highlands over the summer.
The station, which was made famous by Ewan McGregor's rant about being Scottish in the film Trainspotting, is home to one of Scotland's most remote restaurants.
The Station House team are searching for two all-rounders to help serve the steady stream of walkers and hikers that pass through, on their way to bag one of the many Munros in the surrounding area.
Manager Shona Griffiths, who has worked at the station since 2014, said the roles would be ideal for a pair of friends, a couple or individuals who don’t mind hard work and can handle living in the remote spot to fill the roles and help run the Station House Restaurant.
Describing it as a "completely unique experience" that's a great way to "enjoy the outdoors in Scotland", Shona said the successful applicants will be expected to help out with housekeeping at their small B&B, front of house in the restaurant, making coffees and even potentially some kitchen work if they are interested.
Those looking to apply needn't worry about a tough daily commute to the UK's highest mainline station (at 1,300 feet above sea level) as Ms Griffiths states that the jobs come with both food and board.
Open from the end of March until the end of October, seven days a week, the new staff will join a small team and be required to live on-site for the entire season earning an 'excellent rate of pay'.
The restaurant itself is open from 8.30 am to around the time when the last train departs at 9.20 pm.
Shona added that previous hospitality experience is preferable for those looking to apply for the roles.
A fast-paced and diverse role, at the height of summer up to 50 to 60 passengers can leave the train at any one time with the arrivals signalling a rush on at the restaurant.
Hugely popular with film fans, hikers and walkers and Munro baggers, those working at the station needn't be too worried about a lack of human interaction as people from all over the world travel to this unique location every day.
The stunning scenery of the nearby mountain Leum Uilleim, Loch Treig and Loch Ossian, is a huge draw but it's also famous for being the location of Ewan McGregor's famous "it's s***e being Scottish" rant in the film Trainspotting.
Built by the West Highland Railway in the 1890s on the line linking Glasgow and Fort William, the station is part of the Corrour Estate with the Station House described as the UK’s ‘remotest restaurants with rooms’.
