(Location cited as NO 112 232). Perth General Station. Opened 1848 by the Scottish Central and Edinburgh, Perth & Dundee Rlys. A very large through station with six platforms. The two Dundee platforms are curved, with awnings (now cut back) supported on cast-iron columns, and, of the other four platforms, two are covered by a massive 10-bay ridged overall roof supported on two masonry walls and a row of cast-iron columns. The old central offices have been modernised.

A photographic survey was carried out by RCAHMS (1998) as a result of a planning application from Railtrack requesting listed-building consent to demolish the area of the station around Platforms 6 & 7, including the glass canopy.
Visited by RCAHMS (MKO), 28 October 1998.
This former joint station of the Highland, Caledonian and North British Rlys was opened (as Perth General Station) on 22 May 1848 by the Scottish Central (Scottish Midland Junction) Rly. It was renamed Perth by British Railways in 1952, and remains in regular passenger use as a major station.
It was formerly a major junction, being the pivotal point of the eastern Scottish railway system and having main lines to Dundee, Aberdeen (via Strathmore), Inverness, Edinburgh (both via Glenfarg and via Newburgh) and Glasgow, as well as the Bankfoot and Crieff (Strathearn) branches. Most of these lines formerly diverged at Stanley or Hilton Junctions (to the N and S respectively). Following successive closures, neither of these junctions remains in use as such.
