Old Photograph Railway Station Munlochy Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station at Munlochy, Scotland. A small Scottish village, in northern Scotland, lying at the head of Munlochy Bay on the Black Isle. The station closed in 1951 but the village continued to grow with the building of the Kessock Bridge in 1982. Despite its name, the Black Isle is not an island, but a peninsula, surrounded on three sides by water, the Cromarty Firth to the north, the Beauly Firth to the south, and the Moray Firth to the east. On its fourth, western side, its boundary is delineated by rivers. The River Conon divides Maryburgh, a mile outside Dingwall, from Conon Bridge which is the first village on the Black Isle from the north western side. Its south western boundary is variously considered to be marked by either a minor tributary of the River Beauly separating Beauly, in Inverness-shire, and Muir of Ord, on the Black Isle in Ross and Cromarty, dividing the two counties and also delineating the start of the Black Isle; or alternatively, the River Beauly itself, thus including Beauly in the Black Isle despite its official placement in Inverness-shire.
