Full Description
Inverurie Railway Station, built for the Great North of Scotland Railway in 1902. It is a three-platform through station built to replace the small, cramped, station of 1852, which lay half a mile to the South, and emphasising Inverurie's key position at the heart of the new communications system in central Aberdeenshire. The main offices are on the down platform in a long single-storey, coursed rubble building. Most interesting feature is an attractive cupola with weathervane, which functions as a ventilator. There is a substantial glazed awning, supported on cast-iron piers. The island platform building is a large single-storey wooden structure, with an all-round glazed awning supported on cast-iron piers. The goods shed is a sizeable wooden structure. It also served as a junction for Oldmeldrum railway. The station was refurbished in 1989.
