(Location cited as NO 300 413). Newtyle Old Station, rebuilt c1836 by the Dundee & Newtyle Railway. A large rubble train shed with elliptical-arched entrances. At the north end is a range of single-storey offices, and the stepped circular base of a post crane. Beyond the station to the south can be traced the Hatton incline which carried the railway up the north face of the Sidlaws.

This northern terminus of the former Dundee and Newtyle Rly was opened (by that company) on 16 December 1831. It closed to regular passenger traffic on 31 August 1868, being replaced by the 'new' station (NO24SE 99) on the construction of a new track formation (the 'deviation' of 1864) to join the former Dundee and Newtyle Rly with the Stirling-Perth-Kinnaber Junction ('Strathmore') main line.
The station evidently remained in use as a goods station, before becoming a depot.
