The Highland Railway and its constituents erected many buildings, from humble platelayers’ huts, through stations, goods and engine sheds, signal boxes and staff houses, to grand Edwardian hotels. This volume contains over 300 photographs, drawings and plans to illustrate that, whilst the HR’s houses reflected those built on farms in the region, the larger stations showed the influence of then current architectural styles. One chapter covers the significant buildings erected by the Company in Inverness and here, as elsewhere in the Highlands, the surviving structures make an important contribution to the architectural heritage of the region. Neil Sinclair’s family’s links with the Highland Railway began when the last section of the main line was built through his grandfather’s farm in Inverness-shire at the end of the 19th century. The author spent his working life in museums, mainly in Tyne & Wear, where his responsibilities included the architecturally outstanding Monkwearmouth Station Museum.
