Scope and Content Kinaldie Station, Aberdeenshire This shows the Aberdeen-bound platform of the station from the north-west, seen from an Aberdeen-Inverness diesel multiple-unit train. The building with its crowstepped gables, is more elaborate than other stations on the line, probably because it served a landed estate. This station closed in the 1960s, when the railways in north-east Scotland were severely pruned during the Beeching cuts. With improvements in road transport from the 1920s it must have been marginal for many years. This station was opened in 1854 by the Great North of Scotland Railway on its line from Aberdeen to Huntly. This section of line was built on the bed of the Aberdeenshire Canal. The line was single, and this station originally had only the platform seen in this view. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
