Photo [courtesy of the F W Urquhart collection] of a later version of the "Strathie" taken at Dingwall Station. In 1897 the Highland Railway Company ran five trains a day on the branch line from Dingwall to Strathpeffer [see Strathpeffer/Environment/The Peffery Way]. The first train, at 7.40 am, was a mixed/mail passenger train. The journey took ten minutes. As the train has been decorated, could this be to celebrate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1897?

Strathpeffer WW1

Strathpeffer WW1

The photos in this album are from the Ross-shire Journal during the 1914-1918 War. Newspaper copies had been deposited with Dingwall Museum but over the years had become rather fragile and were in danger of disintegrating and so it was felt that this valuable record should not be lost.
