{{Use dmy dates|date=November 2014}}The Highland Railway was one of the smaller British railways before the Railways Act 1921, operating north of Perth railway station in Scotland and serving the farthest north of Britain. Based in Inverness, the company was formed by merger in 1865, absorbing over {{convert|249|mi}} of line. It continued to expand, reaching Wick and Thurso in the north and Kyle of Lochalsh in the west, eventually serving the counties of Caithness, Sutherland, Ross & Cromarty, Inverness, Perth, Nairn, Moray and Banff. Southward it connected with the Caledonian Railway at Stanley Junction, north of Perth, and eastward with the Great North of Scotland Railway at Boat of Garten, Elgin, Keith and Portessie.[1] In 1923, the company passed on approximately {{convert|494|mi}} of line as it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. Although its shorter branches have closed, former Highland Railway lines remain open from Inverness to Wick and Thurso, Kyle of Lochalsh, Keith (as part of the Aberdeen to Inverness Line), as well as the direct main line south to Perth. {{TOC limit|3}}Main lineThe Highland Railway main line between Inverness and Perth, which opened in 1863, left the Caledonian Railway at {{rws|Stanley}} and then ran north over the Grampian Mountains. After 1898 the line followed a more direct route via {{rws|Carrbridge}}, leaving the earlier line via {{rws|Forres}} at a junction at {{rws|Aviemore}}. Between 1865 and 1965 the Highland operated one branch from {{rws|Ballinluig}} to {{rws|Aberfeldy}}. Station | Distance{{sfn|Vallance|Clinker|1971|pp=188–189 | Opened | Closed | Notes |
