This, the most northerly railway junction in the British Isles, is situated at the division of the Wick and Thurso terminal lines of the 'Far North' line of the (former) Highland Rly. It was opened (by the Sutherland and Caithness Rly.) on 28 July 1874, and remains in regular use by passenger traffic.
