Blair Atholl signal box

Here's a sign of changing times. We spent 2 weeks in Scotland, and I can count the number of railway photographs taken on the fingers of 2 hands. Stopping at Blair Atholl on our way to Inverness to drive the "NorthCoast500" route I was surprised to see Blair Atholl signal box still open and operative. For some reason I had thought that the Highland main line had all been re-signalled some years ago. I was wrong.

 

Blair Atholl box was a Highand Railway design dating from about 1890.
