Details Terminal station, rebuilt in 1898-1902 by P M Barnett on the Morayshire Railway that had opened in 1852, and incorporated into the Great North of Scotland Railway. It is a Scottish Baronial, two-storey and attic asymmetrical 12-bay building, constructed from roughly tooled ashlar with a battered bull faced base course. The four centre bays have an entrance to the booking hall, and a glazed canopy over the ground floor with a crenellated parapet and gabled windows, all flanked by advanced gabled bays. There are two mullioned, segmental ground floor windows with hoodmoulds, canted oriels in the first floor and one small hoodmoulded gable window. There is a single bay and corner drum tower at the North-West, incorporating an entrance to the Station Master's dwelling, with a fish-scaled slated conical roof with weathervane. There are additional single-storey bays to the East. All gables are crowstepped, and there are corniced ridge and end stacks. The roofs are slate. It was closed as a passenger railway station during the mid-1960s, and is now used as offices.
