Tour Scotland video of a night passenger train from Inverness arriving at the railway station at Birnam and Dunkeld on ancestry visit to Highland Perthshire, Scotland. The train was moving on to Perth and Edinburgh. The Perth and Dunkeld Railway was first built from Stanley Junction on the Scottish Midland Junction Railway to Birnam, on the opposite bank of the River Tay to Dunkeld. With the Act of Parliament was passed on 10 July 1854, with the line being opened on 7 April 1856. Initially operated by the Scottish Midland Junction Railway, and latterly the Scottish North Eastern Railway, the Perth and Dunkeld did not become part of the Caledonian Railway, rather was absorbed by the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway on 28 February 1864, and subsequently became part of the Highland Railway on 1 February 1865. The line became part of the LMS in 1923.
