Details Site of a signal box depicted on the OS 2nd edition map. The Dyce Buchan signal box was in operation from 1894 and once controlled the Great North of Scotland Railway's junction where the long Buchan branch line to Fraserburgh and Peterhead diverged from the main Aberdeen to Keith and Elgin line. It had a hipped roof design with a stone or brick base up to the cabin floor level which supported the vertical wooden boarding above. Three sides had fully glazed windows. The Box closed in 1928 and has since been demolished.
