Lovers of the outdoors in Edinburgh are being given the chance to take a break from the city over the summer, with one of Scotland's most beautiful and remote train stations on the hunt for seasonal staff.
Corrour Station House, which was made famous by Ewan McGregor's rant about being Scottish in the film Trainspotting, has charmed film fans, walkers, hikers and tourists alike for decades.
The station, which is only accessible by train or a 20-mile hike, is surrounded by stunning scenery and is offering two people a unique way to experience the wonder of the Highlands over the summer.

The team need two new faces to help them 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.
The fast-paced roles will see the successful candidates help out with the B & B and restaurant and see them serving the train loads of tourists who make their way here all throughout the summer.
Shona Griffiths, who runs the Station House and has worked at the station since 2014, explained that daily duties would include customer service, barista work, housekeeping, help with kitchen prep and service along with some KP jobs. Shona added that any previous kitchen experience would be advantageous.
The Station manager said: "It's the most beautiful place, the roles would suit people who love the outdoors and want to get away from it all. It's quite an interesting role, it's not your usual hospitality gig."
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 night.
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’.
Those looking to apply, can send a CV and a brief covering letter to stationhouse@corrour.co.uk.
