Description

This is a single platform station which retains its single storey station building. The building, having been disused and in poor condition, was repaired and has been used for a variety of purposes including a pottery and bakery.

To the immediate south of the station is a level crossing. There was a small gate signal box at the south end of the platform. This was dispensed with to reduce costs - which resulted in the train crew opening the gates ahead of the train and closing them behind it. This was finally dispensed with in 1985 when an automatic open system with coloured lights was brought into use.

There was a siding at the north end, west side, now removed.

Local

The Morar Hotel is just to the north of the level crossing near the station.

The Traigh Golf Course , the most westerly on mainland Britain and with the small isles as a backdrop, is about two and a half miles to the south.

Morar is well known for its sandy beaches, these can be found stretching north from Arisaig to Mallaig.
