Old Photographs Railway Station Beauly Scotland
Old photograph of the railway station in Beauly located ten miles West of Inverness, Scotland. The Inverness and Ross-shire Railway, which was to be a line between Inverness and Invergordon, was authorised in 1860, and opened in stages. The first section, that between Inverness and Dingwall, opened on 11 June 1862, and one of the original stations was that at Beauly. The station closed a nearly a century later, on 13 June 1960, along with most of the others between Inverness and Bonar Bridge. This was due to increasing competition from motor buses, particularly those of Highland Omnibuses Ltd. Following a local campaign, the station was reopened in 2002. It is the first stop after leaving Inverness station, heading north on the Kyle of Lochalsh Line and the Far North Line.
