Restoration

In 2015 Revack Lodge Estate announced plans to develop the station site as a heritage centre. This will involve renovating the old station buildings into a craft shop, and converting an old railway carriage into a cafe. It will also feature a Highland games demonstration area.[1][2]

Los Angeles artist and gallerist Jan Corey Helford projected the renovations.[3] In 2018 the renovations to the former Grantown East station were complete. The station reopened exactly fifty years after the last train passed through as the Highland Heritage & Cultural Centre.
