Old Photographs Boat of Garten Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station in Boat of Garten in Badenoch And Strathspey, Scotland. The village transformed from a small agricultural settlement when the Highland Railway arrived, making Boat of Garten a significant hub and leading to new homes for railway workers. The settlement name derives from the nearby old ferry over the River Spey. It is also known as " Osprey village " due to its significant population of Ospreys. Boat of Garten is located between Aviemore and Grantown on Spey. It lies to the northeast of Aviemore, just north of Auchgourish and east of Kinveachy. Loch Garten lies to the southeast of the village.
