This intermediate station on the Alford branch of the Great North of Scotland Rly. was opened (by the Alford Valley Rly.) in 1860; it was incorporated into the GNoSR, subsequently grouped into the London and North-Eastern Rly. and closed to regular passenger traffic (along with the branch line itself) on 2 January 1950.

Of the four buildings depicted at Tillyfourie Station on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1901, sheet lxiii.SE), only the main station building is still standing, having been converted to a private house in the mid-1960s. A concrete raft marks the site of a building that stood immediately to the W, but nothing is visible of either of the structures that stood immediately to the S or immediately to the N respectively, on the other side of the twin tracks. The stone facings of the two platforms have apparently been removed and the edges battered back to form what are now overgrown scarps. The W bound track-bed is now in use as a rough track.
