Beauly Station

Britain's smallest railway station, Beauly station, opened in 1860 and was an important staging post in the Highlands until it closed a century later as part of a pre-Beeching plan to cut costs.

But following a local campaign, a new station opened in 2002: the smallest railway station in Britain. It's opposite the original station, which is now home to Platform PR and gave us our name.

Beauly station is now on the First ScotRail Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh and Inverness to Wick and Thurso routes.

More about Beauly

The name Beauly comes from the French "beau lieu" or "beautiful place" and it is often said this comes from a comment made by Mary Queen of Scots during a visit she made to the town in the Summer of 1564. Mary may well have liked Beauly, but the name actually dates back to the arrival here of the French monks who set up the Priory in 1230.

In 2006 we opened an office in Edinburgh, headed up by Linda Bruce.
