Scotscalder railway station is a railway station located in the Highland council area in the far north of Scotland. It serves several rural hamlets in the historic county of Caithness, including Scotscalder, Olgrinmore, Westerdale and Calder. It is accessed from the B870 road, two miles (3 km) south of Scotscalder Hall.
The station is situated on the Far North Line, 143 miles 2 chains (230.2 km) down the line from Inverness, between Altnabreac and Georgemas Junction.[4] It has a single platform which is long enough to accommodate a four-carriage train.
Owing to its geographical remoteness, limited services and lengthy journey times, Scotscalder's patronage is extremely low: the station has not seen more than 500 passengers in a year since at least the 2002–03 financial year. In 2017–18 the station only saw 182 passengers, making it the 12th least-used railway station in Britain and the least-used on the Far North Line. In 2018–19 the patronage increased to 238, making Scotscalder the second least-used station on the line (behind Kildonan) and the 15th least-used in Britain.
The station is managed by ScotRail, who operate all trains serving the station.
