Opened in 1854 on the Great North of Scotland Railway's line from Aberdeen to Keith, this station closed in 1961. The line was later singled. View north west towards Kennethmont and Keith. Both platforms had gone but a solitary building survives, complete with broken windows to add to the air of desolation.
