The viaduct at Ellon carried the Great North of Scotland Railway from Aberdeen to the fishing towns of Peterhead and Fraserburgh over the River Ythan. Passenger trains ceased to run in 1965 with closure to all traffic in 1979. Ellon was also the junction for a branch built to serve the railway companies massive luxury hotel at Cruden Bay. The whole of the 38 miles between Dyce and Peterhead and the 16 miles between Maud Junction and Fraserburgh have been converted into a long distance cycle/walkway, the 'Formartine & Buchan Way'

River Ythan
On the south (right) bank of the river is a large area of housing, none of which is on the 1976 1:50,000 map. This indicates how fast Ellon has grown in recent decades.

Old Railway Bridge
As part of the infamous Beeching cuts the death knell of the Buchan Line, Ellon Station and the bridge went into disuse. Unlike its partner over the Pitmeden road to the south this bridge survived and now provides walkers and cyclists with a safe, dry and elevated crossing of the Ythan.
