Invershin railway station is a railway station in the Highland council area of Scotland. The station is on the Far North Line. It is 61 miles 34 chains (98.9 km) from Inverness, and has a single platform which is long enough for a four-coach train.[2]

It is extremely close to the previous station on the line, at Culrain, situated at the opposite side of Shin Viaduct (or 'Oykel Viaduct'), a major structure on the Far North line which crosses the Kyle of Sutherland at its narrowest point.
