Scope and Content Dunkeld and Birnam Station, Perthshire This station was built as the terminus of the Perth and Dunkeld Railway, and was designed by Andrew Heiton, a Perth architect.. The 'Tudor' style was popular at the time. The building originally incorporated a train shed. This view shows the station building, on the south-bound platform, from the east. This view emphasises the symmetry of the treatment, unusual in a building in this style. The road in the foreground was the new A9, which cuts across the old station drive. This became a through station in 1863 when the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway was opened between here and Forres. It subsequently lost its train shed. It has been unmanned since the 1980s.
