Blacksboat Railway Station, opened by Strathspey Railway (NJ13NE0060) in 1863 and closed to passenger traffic in 1965. It is a typical two-platform through station with platform building and goods shed. The platform building is a single-storey, seven-bay, rectangul6ar-plan former railway station, constructed from snecked rubble with roughly dressed quoins. The principle South elevation is symmetrical. There is a broad tripartite centre bay, with a door and flanking blocked windows divided by fluted pilasters, with stylised scroll capitals giving way to a frieze inscribed with 'BLACKSBOAT'. There are three narrow windows to each flanking bay. The West gabled elevation has a boarded timber door, and a reinforced glass fanlight to left. The rear North elevation has a boarded timber door at the centre, with bipartite window to the right and a further single window beyond. The boundary wall is abutting at the outer right. The roof is constructed from graded grey slates, with a stone ridge, and there are coped ashlar ridge stacks and ashlar-coped skews, with block skewputts. Inside, all fittings have been removed. The square-plan goods shed is constructed from horizontally-clad timber on a rubble and coped ashlar base, and it has a piended slate roof. There are large sliding doors to the North, West and East elevations, with the East elevation also having a further window opening. The South elevation has two horizontal windows close to the eaves. There is a flat-coped rubble platform wall to the South of the station building, and rubble boundary walls. There is a small cast-iron girder bridge crossing the railway to the North.
