The most remote meal in Scotland

Scottish relish took advantage of the recent good weather up north to get the bike out and get out to a spot we've known about for a while, but until now had yet to visit.
Fans of the original 'Trainspotting' film may recognise some of the images- its Corrour station on the Glasgow to Fort William line. There's only two methods of getting here, by train, or 25km overland on foot/bike as there's no public roads in this remote area of Rannoch Moor.
The sweeping landscape and desserted ancient lochs did make us wonder what we were letting ourselves in for, but in under 3 hours we got to Corrour Station, to be rewarded with a warm welcome, a cold beer and delicious, home made venison burgers, with enough fries to satisfy a couple of fairly tired mountain bikers. Was this the most remote meal in Scotland?
Unfortunately we hadn't packed overnight stuff, so once all the ketchup had been wiped from our plates we saddled up and rode the 25km back to Laggan Dam, the days up here remaining light until after 11pm.
What a great afternoon and evening!
