STAFF RECORDS
The Society receives many queries about staff on the former Highland Railway and its successors.
The Staff records of the former Highland Railway and its successors that have survived have been deposited
with the National Archive of Scotland In Edinburgh.
Details of their collection are included in their web site, www.nas.gov.uk
, which lists the following:
BR/HR/15 Staff Records, 1878-1957
BR/HR/15/1/ Register of Applicants for Clerkships, 1878-1920
BR/HR/15/2 Register of Applicants for Clerkships, 1919-1923

Note that these may be held off-site, so you should contact the National Archives of Scotland before and in advance of any
visit.
About 25% of the workforce of 756 served in the First World War. The Highland Railway Company War Memorial is mounted at the
entrance to the former Company headquarters, to the left of Inverness station. Click here for a photo of
