Scope and Content Insch Station, Aberdeenshire This shows the building on the Aberdeen-bound platform from the south-east, seen from an Aberdeen-Inverness diesel multiple-unit train. The building is built of granite, with a harled finish to the front. Note the old van body on the right, used as a store. This line was resignalled in the 1980s, with radio signalling, and the signal box seen on the left in this view was eliminated. The station building has, however, been retained. This station was originally opened in 1854 by the Great North of Scotland Railway as part of its line from Aberdeen to Huntly. It was one of three passing places on the single-track line. The doubling of the line reached Insch in 1888, when the station building in this view was constructed. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
