Scope and Content Former Garmouth Station, Morayshire This was a two-platform through station, built by the Great North of Scotland Railway as part of their Moray Coast line, constructed to serve the booming fishing towns of the area. The single-storey wooden building was on the east-bound platform. This view shows the building from the south west. Its weatherboarded construction and piended (hipped) roof are typical of most of the stations on the Moray Coast line. This station served the villages of Garmouth and Kingston-on-Spey, at the mouth of the river Spey. Kingston was a model village which had in the early 19th century a significant wooden shipbuilding trade, but which had declined by the 1880s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
