Scope and Content Perth General Station, Perth Perth was a nodal point on the Scottish railway system, served by 1850 by three railway companies, and by 1863 by four. This station was therefore an important interchange point. It was the furthest south point reached by The Highland Railway. This view shows the station from the south. In the centre are the platforms used by trains to Aberdeen until 1965, and still used by Inverness trains. To the right are the Dundee line platforms, now used by Aberdeen trains. The main buildings at Perth are on the island platform to the west, and now accommodate railway offices. There is also a waiting room originally provided for Queen Victoria.
