Image: © Nigel Thompson Taken: 25 Jul 2014
Opened in 1854 by the Great North of Scotland Railway on what is today the line from Aberdeen to Inverness, this station closed in 1902 when it was replaced by the current station, some 800 metres to the north. View south towards Kintore and Aberdeen from a public crossing. From old maps, it would appear to have had three platform faces with an island platform to the left and a further platform and main building to the right. No trace apparently remains. Five years after this image was taken, the line was redoubled again.
