The Red House, Strathpeffer
This Category B listed house faces onto the A834 at the eastern end of Strathpeffer village. Built in the late 19th century as a pair of semi-detached houses, it is now all one house.
The house takes its name from the brick-coloured tiles and maroon joinery used in its construction. It is a rare example of a tile-hung Arts and Crafts style house in the Highlands.
The walling material recalls the style of architect George Devey, whose work was mostly in south east England.

The Victorian Station at Strathpeffer
The arrival of the railways in Dingwall in 1862 did much to bring more visitors to Strathpeffer. In 1885 a branch line from the Kyle of Lochalsh Line was built and Strathpeffer railway station was opened on 3 June; the most logical route for the line was through the town, but disagreements with landowners initially prevented the railway from crossing their land. The branch closed in February 1946. The station now contains a variety of shops and craft outlets as well as the Highland Museum of Childhood. The station building itself is of classic Victorian architecture and still has the original platform which many shops front onto. The nearest stations are now in Dingwall and Garve.
The long single-storey, 12-bay station building at Strathpeffer is Category B listed (LB7834 http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB7834 Historic Environment Scotland).
