History


The station was opened on 1 February 1850 by the Aberdeen Railway.[1] There was a goods yard at the east side of the line.[2]

The station was host to a LMS caravan from 1936 to 1939.[3]

The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 4 December 1950.[1] Freight service was transferred to Newtonhill railway station.[4]

Nothing remains of the station, however its location can be best estimated by the location of the Muchalls Peace Sign, which is located nearby.[5] The peace sign is visible from Marine Terrace, Muchalls just south of the junction with Walker Drive.
