Background
History
The station is situated on the former Inverness and Perth Junction Railway (I&PJR) and was opened along with the line in 1863. In 1865, The I&PJR amalgamated with other railways to create the Highland Railway. In 1897 the building on the north-bound platform was replaced with a more substantial building to the designs of the Engineer in Chief to the Highland Railway, William Roberts. The main block on the south-bound platform received an addition in order to extend the booking office and the stationmaster’s rooms. Launched in 2015, Pitlochry is one of the eight station members of the Highland Main Line Community Rail Partnership.
