Strome Ferry Shed (1870-1897)Description
This two road timber shed was east of Strome Ferry station, on the landward side of the line. It dated from the opening of the railway when the station was a terminus. The shed was approached by reversing from the goods yard, the siding passing over a turntable before splitting into two roads to enter the shed.
The shed was accidentally burned down in 1872 and was replaced. This shed lasted until 1897 when the line was extended to Kyle of Lochalsh.
