(Location cited as NN 003 312). Taynuilt Station: completed 1879 and opened 1880 by the Callander and Oban Rly. A 2-platform through station with the main offices on the down platform in a single-storey wooden building, with a bracketted glazed awning and galzed end screens. The up-platform shelter is a particularly pleasing structure.
J R Hume 1977.
Taynuilt station is of the standard (Callander and Oban) two-platform type with very extensive timber buildings on the down platform and a sizeable shelter on the opposite side; it also had a substantially-built water tower. Over the main entrance door (on the S side of the station) there is a bage with the inscription 'C. and O.' and the date of construction in Roman numerals; this is the only sign of the former company left on the system.
