Portsoy 2nd railway station (site), Aberdeenshire.
Opened in 1884 by the Great North of Scotland Railway on the line from Tillynaught to Tochieneal, extended 2 years later to Elgin, this through station replaced an earlier 1859 terminus some 200m to the north. In turn, this station closed in 1968. View south east along the former platform towards Tillynaught and ultimately, Aberdeen. A second platform for westbound trains had existed to the right of the image. The station building was in use as a scout hut when this image was taken.
Old Railway Line, Portsoy. The bridge spans the former railway line to the north of Portsoy Junction, being the old Harbour Branch. The area to the right is now a small park.
