Old Photographs Railway Station Dunkeld And Birnam Perthshire Scotland
Old photograph of the railway station for Birnam and Dunkeld, Perthshire, Scotland. Dunkeld Station, designed by Andrew Heiton, a Perth architect, opened on 7 April 1856 as a terminus on the Perth and Dunkeld Railway. It was operated by the Scottish Midland Junction Railway. This was absorbed by the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway in February 1864 and the line was continued north to Forres. The station's name has changed a number of times over the years. It was known as Birnam until 1 December 1861 when its name was changed to Dunkeld. On 1 January 1903 it was renamed Dunkeld and Birnam. It reverted to Dunkeld in the 1970s and subsequently back to Dunkeld and Birnam. Dunkeld and Birnam are both villages which face one another across the River Tay, Birnam on the south bank, Dunkeld on the north. The station is closer to Birnam. History Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
