Scope and Content Former Strathpeffer Station, Ross and Cromarty This station was built as the terminus of a branch from the Dingwall & Skye line of The Highland Railway. It is on a scale appropriate to the spa resort status of Strathpeffer, but was cheaply built. This view shows the platform awning from the buffer-stop end. The station closed in the 1940s, hence the overgrown track bed. The Dingwall and Skye was originally intended to go through Strathpeffer, but the inhabitants objected. By the 1880s they had repented. The station was refurbished in the 1980s as a tourist centre. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
