Black Five at Ach-Na-Cloich on the Oban line hi res024
44931 approaches an unknown station somewhere* in the Scottish highlands. The Shed code looks to be 63A, Perth South, which was this loco's last shed along with a good number of other Black Fives. Can anyone identify the station? I think it looks to begin with the letter A and is a relatively long name but I have drawn a blank. The single platform, and the loch in the background, may help those with more knowledge that I have. From a scanned 35mm slide taken by my father circa 1960.
*With the help of David Spavin's The Railway Atlas of Scotland and Railscot, I have subsequently worked out that this is Ach-Na-Cloich on the Oban line, next station west of Taynuilt. Opened in 1881 it closed in 1965.
