Portsoy 2nd railway station (site), Aberdeenshire
Opened in 1884 by the Great North of Scotland Railway on the line from Tillynaught to Tochieneal, extended 2 years later to Elgin, this through station replaced an earlier 1859 terminus some 200m to the north. In turn, this station closed in 1968.
View south east along the former platform towards Tillynaught and ultimately, Aberdeen. A second platform for westbound trains had existed to the right of the image. The station building was in use as a scout hut when this image was taken.

Portsoy 1st railway station (site), Aberdeenshire
Opened in 1859 by the Banff Portsoy & Strathisla Railway, later part of the Great North of Scotland Railway, as the terminus of its short branch from Tillynaught, this station closed to passengers in 1884 when it was replaced by the 2nd station some 200m to the south. The 1st station continued for goods, probably until the railway closed in 1968 (needs confirmation).
View north towards the buffers. Hidden by the later shed on the left is the still extant station building. Until 1910, a steep goods line ran past the right hand side of the trainshed, down to Portsoy harbour.
The site was used as a council recycling yard when this image was taken. Being mostly wooden, this is a remarkable survivor from 1859.
