A clue in the title - but can you name the stations. Writeup, further pictures to follow - perhaps.  Far more material and things to do piling in than I can turn round into output

1, yes, Inverness and 2 is indeed Beauly - said to be the shortest platform on the UK▸ (United Kingdom) network. Sorry - 4 is not Dingwall.

6 is Kyle - so maybe the lack of a "not in order" disclaimer is justified.

They are in an order - but not the order in which I took them.

No Dingwall, no Garve - though I could find pictures. No Altnabraec either - though that's not even on the Kyle line.
