Peterculter railway station, which was an intermediate station on the Great North of Scotland Railway branch line from Aberdeen to Ballater, was closed in 1966, and only the long east-bound platform and the station name-board at its W end are now visible. The buildings that once stood on the platform have been removed, as has the west-bound platform. The abutments and ramps of a road bridge that formerly crossed the line close to the W end of the station are still in good condition and the track-bed is now used as a public footpath.
