Corrour Station Restaurant - situated at the UK s highest mainline railway station - is looking for a new live-in chef IT could be the perfect job for the chef who likes to let off steam with a hill walk and is certain to attract hordes of applicants after the confines of lockdown. A restaurant at the highest railway station in the UK, which is also the most remote, is looking for a new cook. The Station House at Corrour has advertised a seasonal post from Mid-May to October, which comes with free accommodation and as much fresh air as you can inhale at the remote, west highland beauty spot.
Corrour. Picture: Julie Howden/The Herald FOR many it is a location that will be forever immortalised by the words of Ewan McGregor s character Renton in Trainspotting when he proclaims: It s s being Scottish. The memorable monologue is juxtaposed against the ruggedly beautiful wilds of Corrour, on the edge of Rannoch Moor, as the quartet of Tommy, Spud, Sick Boy and Renton leave behind the drug-addled underbelly of 1980s Edinburgh for a day trip to the great outdoors. Trainspotting – released in 1996 – celebrates its 25th anniversary this month, although there is far more to Corrour than simply a cameo in a cult film.
