Ballachulish Ferry was a railway station on the south shore at the narrows of Loch Leven at South Ballachulish in Highland region, Scotland.

History

Ballachulish Ferry station opened on 24 August 1903.[1] It had one platform, on the north side of the line.

The station was opened by the Callander and Oban Railway, which was absorbed into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948 and was closed by the British Railways Board in 1966,[1] when the Ballachulish Branch closed.
