Description
The building is a circa 1865 station, likely designed by Joseph Mitchell, and consists of a two-storey, three-bay main structure with single-storey wings flanking it and connected at the platform frontage by a canopy. It is built primarily of tooled rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. The windows are a mix of two-pane and four-pane glazing, and the roof is slate, with a shallow pitch and projecting eaves, featuring coped wallhead stacks. The station is supported by six slender cast-iron columns. An 1888 footbridge, constructed of standard Highland Railway cast iron, spans the railway tracks. It includes a lattice balustrade.
