Down Highland Main Line using the Up Platform 2008

Dunkeld Station is the next station north of Perth on the Highland Main Line and operated by Scotrail. Pictured is Bombarier Turbostar 170429 at one time the workhorse of long-distance rail travel in Scotland.

Most Highland Railway station platforms were built lower than the standard height hence the use of these yellow portable wooden raised block steps.

Dunkeld Station was designed by Perth architect Andrew Heiton and opened on 7th April 1856 as a termius on the Perth & Dunkeld Railway , which was absorbed by the Inverness & Perth Junction Railway in February 1861 and the station was known as Birnam until December 1861.

The station's name changed several times over the years between Dunkeld & Birnam and the combination between them. The villages of Dunkeld and Birnam straddle the River Tay in Perth & Kinross.
