The Railway Station was originally built in 1876 by Sir William Mackenzie from Kirkfield. Over time, business on the railway (after 1923, […]

Highland Cinemas
User Review
( votes)
Highland Cinemas is a one-of-a-kind movie theatre. Hidden in a bit of bush, on the hill just outside the village limits, it looks like an average two-storey house. Only when you step through the double-glass doors — where the garage should be — do you realize you’ve entered a celluloid oasis. Don’t miss historical artifacts […]
