Description
Duncraig Halt and Shelter was opened in 1897 by the Highland Railway. It features a short platform faced with mass concrete and is bordered by a wooden fence. Off the platform, there is a small hexagonal shelter made of vertically boarded wood, topped with a pyramidal slate roof and adorned with two layers of ornamental valancing. The shelter has inappropriate uPVC guttering. There is also a cast and wrought-iron bracket for an oil lamp. At the east end of the station, there is a segmental-arched rubble over-bridge, which includes rock-faced voussoirs and an ashlar cope and string course at carriageway level.
