Old photograph of the railway station in Aviemore, South of Inverness, Scotland. The station is located on the Highland Main Line between Perth, Perthshire, and Inverness, Highlands. The line was opened by the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway in 1863, subsequently becoming part of the Highland Railway. The current station was opened in 1898, to designs by the architect William Roberts. when the direct line to Inverness via Slochd was built, making Aviemore an important junction and replacing the original 1863 building. William Roberts also provided an engine shed to the north of the station in 1896. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
