Scope and Content Former Ballater Station, Aberdeenshire This station was built as the terminus of the Aboyne and Ballater Railway and subsequently rebuilt and enlarged. It was a single platform station with a very long platform. The buildings were made of timber, and there was a full-length platform awning. This view shows the station from the south. The porch to the right was for the use of the Royal Family, who used the station on visits to Balmoral. There was a Royal waiting room in the station. The hope when the station opened was that it would be a temporary terminus until the line was extended to Braemar, but that never happened. The Deeside line closed in 1966. Since 1976 the buildings have been converted into shops. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
