Scene of a disaster
All is quite now on the Formartine and Buchan Way but on 12 March 1874 northbound and southbound Great North of Scotland Railway trains collided head-on about 20 metres south of the occupation bridge that serves Gallowhill of Ellon farm and three railwaymen lost their lives. The accident was apparently caused by one driver misreading the 'working timetable', which specified where trains should stop to safely pass each other on passing loops.
