Scope and Content Banavie Railway Station, Caledonian Canal, Highland This shows the station from the west. The building is of the standard West Highland Extension type, but the station is unusual in not having a passing loop. It is also unusual in that there is no concrete in its construction. The photograph was taken from a diesel locomotive. The original Banavie Station was beside the Caledonian Canal, and was designed to link with steamer services from Banavie to Inverness through the canal. After the new station was opened the old one was renamed Banavie Pier. This station was built for the West Highland Extension Railway, which runs from Banavie to Mallaig, and was opened in 1901. The engineers for the line were Simpson & Wilson, and the contractors Robert McAlpine & Sons. There was an earlier station at Banavie, on a branch from the West Highland line.
