Steam train at Dingwall Railway Station, Dingwall, Highlands.
Dingwall, despite being the county town of Ross and Cromarty, remained small with little trade until its harbour was built in 1815-17. Connection to the rail network in 1862 fuelled further expansion. The town-centre was redeveloped in 1963.

This photograph dates to c. 1950 and shows a steam train passing through Dingwall Railway Station. The station itself was built in 1886 to designs by Murdoch Patterson.
