Academy Street
Inverness, Scotland
The Highland Railway Company, operational from Perth in Central Scotland to Inverness and extending to the east coast at Wick and Thurso, played a significant role in the region's transportation network. Established in the late 19th century, it connected various towns and served as a vital link to the Western Isles, with branches that facilitated travel and commerce across the Highlands.
In remembrance of its employees who served in World War I, the company unveiled a memorial in Inverness on August 6, 1921, honoring the sacrifice of approximately 25% of its workforce. The bronze plaque, located on the former offices of Highland Railway adjacent to the Inverness Railway Station, commemorates those who gave their lives during the Great War from 1914 to 1919.
