(Location cited as NH 553 586). Dingwall Station, built 1886 for the Highland Rly. A 3-platform through station with an elaborate single-storey stone building on the down platform, with end bays projecting at the rear. The seven-bay glazed platform awning is supported on ornamental cast-iron columns. The up-platform building is a long single-storey wooden structure. The platforms are linked by a lattice-girder foot-bridge. In the goods yard is a handsome cast-iron post crane with a wooden jib.

J R Hume 1977.

This intermediate station on the Inverness-Wick and Thurso ('Far North') line of the former Highland Rly was opened on 11 June 1862 by the Inverness and Ross-shire Rly. [not in 1886 by the Highland Rly, as stated by Hume]. It remains in regular use by passenger traffic.
