Former railway station, now used as the eastern terminus of the Caledonian Railway (Brechin) Ltd, a preserved steam railway line. The railway station at Bridge of Dun was on the old Mineral railway line which was closed down in 1981. Previous passenger service had run since February 1848 to 4th August 1952. Part of the station and line have been restored with several engines and carriages in various stages of restoration. When visited by Hume in the early 1970s he described it as being formerly a three-platform through station, with the main building on the up platform. This is a a single-storey, coursed-rubble building with Tudor chimneys. The original awning survives at one end, although a larger platform awning has been added. Now used as a dwelling house. Nearby is a block of three one-storey and attic railway cottages. These features are all visible on aerial photographs taken in 2002 by AAS.
