Description
Dunkeld and Birnam Station, designed by Andrew Heiton, Junior, in 1856, is a single-storey, seven-bay railway station with a near-symmetrical, multi-gabled design. The building is constructed from squared and snecked whinstone rubble, featuring sandstone dressings. It has an open central porch with a pointed arch at the front and shouldered arches on the sides. The station is flanked by advanced gables that include stone mullioned tri-partite glazing. Decorative barge-boards and pendant timber eaves enhance its architectural appeal, along with tall octagonal and square-cut ridge stacks. The roof is covered with slate.
There is a single-storey addition to the southeast and a roughly 12-bay awning on the platform elevation, which is supported by wall-hung cast-iron brackets with decorative spandrels.
Additionally, there is a footbridge, referenced at map location NO 03107 41646, which is a steel and cast-iron lattice-girder structure designed in the standard style of the Highland Railway.
