HRH Prince Charles visited Dunrobin Castle station on August 8, to mark the 150th anniversary of The Duke of Sutherland’s railway. The railway is claimed to be the only part of the national rail network to have been planned, financed and opened by one person.
Running from Golspie to Helmsdale, and now part of the Far North Line between Inverness and Wick/Turso, it opened on May 16, 1871.
