'The Platform' is housed in the remaining building which comprised a good shed with passenger facilities alongside, built in 1872 when the line was extended to a new terminus. The station closed to passengers in 1951 and freight in 1961, well before the Beeching era closures. This view https://www.theplatform-macduff.co.uk/datafiles/uploaded/cms_gallery_photo/org/org_11_IMG_1157.JPG courtesy of the Platform website shows the station from a similar view direction. Beyond is Macduff Parish Church, built in 1805 as a chapel of ease in Gamrie Parish, and extended in 1865. It is Listed Category B.
