Description

This private halt was to the south and downhill of Lochluichart Lodge, which it served.

The halt was replaced by a public station, Lochluichart [2nd], further to the west in 1880.

The line remains open here, the line having been realigned in 1954 when Loch Luichart became a reservoir. The site of the halt is now submerged.
