Title

Milton of Crathes Station

Description

This original Great North of Scotland Railway Company station was originally located at Oldmeldrum on the 6 mile spur line from Inverurie. It was used extensively for passenger and goods traffic until the line was closed in 1965. After closure the building was used as offices or storage for several businesses before being bought and dismantled in 2013 and rebuilt at Milton of Crathes. The same design of stations were located all along the original Deeside railway line until closure and it is a good example of the style.

Adjacent to the station building visitors can see the four railway bridges: an 18th Century packhorse bridge, the 1802 &1852 railway bridges and the latter 1939 bridge all listed structures (apart from 1939 bridge) that illustrate the development of bridge engineering over river crossings very well.
