History

The station opened on 1 July 1863 by the Great North of Scotland Railway. When it opened, there was only one platform but another was later added. To the north was a goods yard and to the west were sidings that served the Imperial distillery. The station closed to both passengers on 18 October 1965 [1] and closed to goods on 4 November 1968. [2] The signal box has survived. [3]

The Strathspey Railway was a railway company in Scotland that ran from Dufftown to Boat of Garten. It was proposed locally but supported by the larger Great North of Scotland Railway (GNoSR), which wanted to use it as an outlet towards Perth. The GNoSR had to provide much of the funding, and the value of traffic proved to be illusory. The line opened in 1863 to Abernethy, but for the time being was unable to make the desired connection to the southward main line. Although later some through goods traffic developed, the route never achieved its intended purpose.
