Duncraig railway station is a remote railway station by the shore of Loch Carron on the Kyle of Lochalsh Line, serving Duncraig Castle, a mansion near Plockton, in the Highland council area of northern Scotland. It was originally a private station, and features a unique little octagonal waiting room. The station is unstaffed and is a request stop.
Duncraig was closed between 7 December 1964 and 5 January 1976;[1] it was reopened after local train drivers refused to acknowledge the station's closure for the intervening 11 years.[2]
The station is a Category B listed building.[3]
