A station was first opened at Nairn by the Inverness and Nairn Railway in 1855 with the station building seen here opening in 1885. According to Historic Environment Scotland, the station is a ''long single-storey H-plan building on the down platform with low wing to east. Coursed rubble with broached ashlar dressings. Projecting cross-wings with crowstepped gables and carved stone finials, rose, thistle and star; west gable end to platform with canted bay window. Platform canopy borne on clustered cast-iron columns on hexagonal bases. Tall square and round chimney stacks; slate roof.'' All I know is that they sold a smashing cup of coffee at the small café seen on the platform!
