So had I - that's why I didn't include it!!

What did you think of the explanation in my posting ?

I note what you say about this and there seems to be somewhat of a difference of opinion on such matters between Scottish private stations such as the one that you quote with military involvement and that, for example, of Singer Halt which was built to serve the large workforce of the Singer factory.
I have consulted my usual oracle for a second opinion, the Disused Stations website, who do have full details on Fort Augustus station and a full line history with the usual map of all stations on this line and there is no mention whatsoever of the RNAD platform, which tends me to think that it will be classified as a goods and supplies receiving platform only.

Having looked more closely I suspect you are right - the platform was built in WW2 - after the line closed to passengers

I'm way behind, but did wonder about Craigendoran Upper earlier and whether it counted as a separate station? I'm assuming not.

Because Craigendoran station itself is still very much an open station, the two platforms that served the West Highland line as Craigendoran Upper as part of what was then a five-platform Craigendoran station complex unfortunately cannot be counted on this quiz
