Mallaig Station

Mallaig Station was built in 1901 for the West Highland Extension Railway. It features one and two-storey construction with snecked rubble, originally designed with a station house above the offices. The street front has a central passage with a segmental arch and splayed jambs. A bracketed canopy extends over a canted bay to the left, while to the right there is a two-light window. All ground floor windows are sash and case, with 8 panes in the top sash and 12 in the bottom sash.

Above the bay, there is a two-light window with a large open-eaved gablet. Above the entrance, there is a small two-light window, and above that, a single light window with a small open-eaved gablet. All of these windows are sash and case with single-pane sashes. Moulded sill courses run below the windows on both floors, and the dado below the lower string course is painted grey. The railway front is partially obscured by a recent addition. The upper floor is symmetrical, featuring gableted single windows flanking a central small two-light window, all with single-pane glazing. The remaining ground-floor two-light window is similar.

To the left of the street front, there is a one-storey wing with windows on the front and side elevations, as well as double doors on the railway side. The roofs are piended with slightly bellcast slated eaves and exposed rafter ends, complemented by plain barge-boards. Modern extensions on the railway side and to the right of the street frontage are excluded from this description.
