Ardgay railway station is a railway station serving the village of Ardgay in the Highland council area of Scotland. The station is on the Far North Line 93 km (57¾ miles) north of Inverness, near Bonar Bridge.

History

Opened in 1874, and becoming the meeting point of the Sutherland Railway and the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway, the station joined the Highland Railway. Becoming part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, it then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980's, the station was served by ScotRail until the Privatisation of British Railways.
