Dunrobin (locomotive)
The name Dunrobin was given to two Scottish steam locomotives.
When the Far North Line opened to Golspie in 1871, the 3rd Duke of Sutherland had purchased a small 2-4-0T from Kitson and Company for his private train. Named ''Dunrobin'', it had 4' driving wheels, 10" by 18" outside cylinders, and weighed 21 tons in working order. On his succession, the 4th Duke decided to have a new locomotive built, and the original ''Dunrobin'' was sold to the Highland Railway in 1895. It was rebuilt in 1896 with a larger boiler and cylinders. The Highland Railway numbered it 118 and named it ''Gordon Castle for use on the Fochabers branch. Later it was renamed ''Invergordon'' and used as a shunter in that town, where it survived until just after the Grouping.
