(Location cited NO 197 215). Glencarse Station, opened 1847 by the Dundee and Perth Rly. Now closed to passengers, the down-platform building survives. This is a rectangular snecked-rubble building, one-storey and attic, with dormer windows. There are attractive awnings both back and front, with slender cast-iron columns. The lattice-girder footbridge is still in use.
