Details Railway station and railway yards built by the Banff, Portsoy and Strathisla Railway, depicted on historic OS maps. These show the terminus building, goods shed, signal box, signal post, weighing machine and two other buildings. The station, opened in 1859, was formerly a 2 platform terminal station with an overall roof over one platform. The offices and a dwelling house were in a 2-storey rubble building, with a gabled frontage, on the end of the train shed. The line was taken over by the Great North of Scotland Railway in 1867. The line and station were closed in 1968. Test pits by MAS 2014 during a watching brief on initial groundworks for housing on the site of the yards showed only solid rock beneath thin topsoil.
