Is that by any chance Ullapool with the Caledonian Hotel on the right?

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Wrong direction

[jaggybonnet]

Fort William and the Highland Hotel.

This could be one of the buses in the old photo.

The answer is elementary my Dear Watson

[+snorbens_caleyman]

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

It's Nairn.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Does Nairn end in ness Sherlock ?

Education never ends, Watson. It is a series of lessons with the greatest for the last.

Here is a clue - "The station appeared as 'Inverness' in the 1970 film The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes."

Whatever would the Children think of that Railway

Looks more like Kingussie or Newtonmore, but it's the kind of complete b*ll*cks you get in films like that. What you have there is a through station whereas Inverness is a terminus.

Hate to disillusion you but Sherlock Holmes is not real and the film is a work of fiction.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

It is Nairn masquerading as Inverness. Alimentary my dear Bannerman

[Scotty]

you sure about that IHE ? Definitely looks like Nairn station but according to the great Google the railway scenes for this film were recorded in Yorkshire in the same station used for the "Railway Children" ....

It's definitely Nairn.

IHE's "clue" above is a direct quote from the Wikipedia entry for Nairn railway station.

And if I have managed to do it correctly, this link will take you to another photo of Nairn station.
 

[Scotty]

yeah I know it looks totally like Nairn, and I have no doubt that it is ..... but if you do the reverse search and look for the location details from the film both the IMDB and other sites list the location as being Yorkshire ! Hopefully IHE will put them right on their glaring error  

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Dear IMDB,

Its feckin Nairn ya eejits.

I am perfectly aware of that and my point was that Inverness - a very real place - was being misportrayed.
