Scope and Content Fort William Station, Highland This shows the entrance front of the terminal building, illustrating its baronial detailing, though the use of terracotta brick for the facing detracts from the effect. The concourse roof is in the middle, and is flanked by subsidiary roofs over the booking and other offices. The West Highland Railway and its extension to Mallaig are still in operation, but the Fort William terminus has been relocated to a site further north, on the edge of the town. A relief road has been built over the site of the station seen here. This station was the original terminus of the West Highland Railway, opened in 1894, which runs from Craigendoran to Fort William. It had three platforms, with steel-framed glazed awnings, and a terminal building with an open timber-framed roof and Baronial Revival façade. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
