Full Description
An intermediate station on the Great North of Scotland railway line from Aberdeen to Inverness which was opened in November 1854. The station was specially constructed for the Gordon family of the nearby Wardhouse Estate. The station closed to regular passenger traffic on 5 June 1961. It is depicted on the OS 1st edition map as a rectangular building in a garden enclosure with two small structures. That closest to the line is annotated as a signal box on the 2nd edition OS map which also shows two signal posts and rectangular station building, to the west. On current maps the roadside building has been enlarged and named Cherry Tree Cottage, the station building shown as disused. The station building was rectangular in plan, single storey and of three bays with a side annex. It is built of harled squared rubble with ashlar gable chimneys, straight skews with ornate skewputs and margins. There is a pair of large 12 pane windows either side of a glazed door, with glazed light and side panel, and single gable wall window.
