Scope and Content East Station, Maisondieu Road, Elgin, Moray This shows the building from the north, seen from the Laigh Moray Hotel. It is in the baronial style favoured at the time, its opulence being a challenge to the Highland Railway, whose station is just out of sight on the right. By 1971 the Great North of Scotland Railway station was used as offices, and all rail traffic used as the Highland Railway station. Once the former Great North of Scotland Railway services that used this station had ended, in the mid-1960s, there was no logic in retaining it. It was converted into modern offices in the early 1990s, retaining the splendid wood-panelled booking hall. This station was built in 1898 by the Great North of Scotland Railway to designs by P M Barnett, architect. It was used by the company's services to Lossiemouth and round the Moray Coast, and to Boat of Garten and other places in the distillery country south of Elgin. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
