OS (GIS) MasterMap, June 2009.
(Location cited as NH 704 686) Invergordon Station, opened 1863 by the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway. An unusual station for the area, with a long single-storey stone building on the up platform. This has a Flemish-style gabled main entrance, and a glazed awning supported on cast-iron brackets [on the platform side].
There is a lattice-girder footbridge linking the two platforms.
