It is as if we have been transported to 1890, immersing ourselves in the sights and sounds of this bygone time. The focal point of the photograph is a cropped sign that reads "To the Steamers". This intriguing detail hints at an exciting journey awaiting passengers who step onto this platform. Perhaps it was a common sight for locals and tourists alike, signaling their departure towards picturesque destinations or new adventures across Scottish waters. The composition captures both architectural beauty and human presence. The ornate design of the station building reflects the grandeur often associated with Victorian architecture, while people can be seen scurrying about on their way to catch their respective trains or steamers. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, our imagination runs wild with stories that could have unfolded within these very walls. From families bidding tearful farewells to loved ones embarking on long voyages, to travelers eagerly anticipating reunions after months apart - each person passing through this station had their own unique tale. Preserved by the Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland, this remarkable print allows us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a reminder of how transportation has evolved over time while also preserving memories and moments forever frozen in time.
