Fortrose railway station (site), Highland
Image: © Nigel Thompson Taken: 31 Mar 2015
Opened in 1894 as the terminus of the Highland Railway's branch line from Muir of Ord, this station closed in 1951 to passengers and completely in 1960. View north across the old station forecourt towards the end of the platform and the buffers, with the station building having been to the extreme left. The former weighbridge in the foreground appears to be the only visible evidence of what was here before.
