STATIONS ON THE DUNDEE AND PERTH RAILWAY
Errol Station NO 3253 7245
The flat Carse of Gowrie was bisected in 1847 by the Dundee and Perth Railway, taking a direct route rather than conveniencing the various local
communities. So the stations became little nuclei in their own right, starting with signalman’s houses at level crossings, to observe road and rail traffic, modelled on toll houses and similar to those on the Dundee and Arbroath railway. Signal box added c.1890.
Errol Station is a more substantial building with awnings and a collection of gas lamps marked “Dundee Harbour”. This operated as a Railway Heritage Centre and tearoom from 1990-2000 under Errol Station Trust, but is now a private house.
