A formerly un-gated, half-barrier level crossing located in the very pleasant village of Brora, Sutherland, which sits on part of the famed North Coast 500 route. At this level crossing, the barriers were 'bolted on' to the system in early 2014, there are two LED pedestrian lights here, one rather oddly placed specifically for use by an adjacent resident as it's pointing into their driveway, and there are three alarms here. This is one of not very many three-alarm crossings now, and you can just about make out each's individual tone in this video. The featured train was actually the first train of the entire day, though it left Wick some two hours earlier.
