Fort Augustus, Railway Station NH37603 09110 (NE end of platform)
A concrete wall, thought to be the edge of a platform, is all that remains of this station on the south bank of the canal. The wall, which is aligned SW-NE, is c30m in length and roughly 1m in height and topped by metal railings. The wall/platform extends to the SW where it bounds a car park and is aligned with the east parapet of the railway bridge, NH30NE 55 (Canmore ID 228559) at NH 37605 09184 to the NE on the north bank of the canal.
To the east of the platform a retaining wall at the rear of a house is topped by old railings and a “railway” gate. This wall is 22m in length and 2m in height and bounds the approach road to the car park above.
Fort Augustus railway station is marked at this location on maps, including OS maps, between 1912 and 1948.
