Portessie Station Platform
The second edition of the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map shows a busy station with goods yard and engine sheds. It was just east of the junction of the Great North of Scotland Railway coast line and the Keith and Buckie Branch. The platform is the only remaining structure and the trackbed has been turned into part of the National Cycle Route No 1.
