Old photograph of the Railway Station in Lairg in Sutherland, Scotland. Lairg Station, on the Far North Line, was opened in April 1868. It stopped receiving goods services in 1984 but is still a station stop for passenger services. The station house is now a private dwelling. Lairg, a Scottish town located at the south eastern end of Loch Shin is known as The Crossroads of the North. In the 19th century, it was provided with a railway station on what is now the Far North Line. This development means that the north west of Sutherland is now easier to access, The Far North Line links Inverness in the south with Thurso and Wick in the north.
