Background
History
The station was privately opened by the Dingwall and Skye Railway in August 1870, primarily to serve Achnashellach Lodge near Loch Dughaill, but was operated from the outset by the Highland Railway (HR), and only opened to the public a year later, on 1 May 1871. The passing loop at the station was removed in 1966, and the wooden station buildings removed a few years after, although the remains of the second platform are partially visible.
