Dunrobin is an 0-4-4T, built by Sharp Stewart in 1895 for the Duke of Sutherland. It was used until around 1920 to pull the Duke’s private train between Dunrobin Castle and Inverness, the Duke having acquired running rights on the Highland Railway as a condition of financing construction of part of the line.
==Preservation== The locomotive was exported to Canada in 1965, but acquired in January 2011 by the Beamish Living Museum of the North<ref>[http://www.beamish.org.uk/beamish-buys-dunrobin/ Beamish announcement]</ref> and repatriated to the UK. On arrival, Dunrobin was brought to Bridgnorth to be dismantled and the feasibility of restoration to working order assessed. The photograph below shows work in progress in March 2012.<gallery>File: Dunrobin 20120324.jpg | Dunrobin in Bridgnorth Works</gallery>
