Fraserburgh Station:Now and then

The location of  Fraserburgh Railway Station today, compare with the photograph below which shows the station before closure. The road sweeping round to the right continues along the line of the old tracks.


The very impressive booking hall

Inside the ticket office



The reopening of the station in 1903  following alterations to accommodate the St Combs branch which used the platform on the right

The station with coaches for St Combs waiting under the awning on the right, the locomotive shed is on the left, under the bulk of the South Kirk. The shed is now virtually all that remains and is part of a fish merchants yard. The imposing baronial bulk of the Dalrymple Hall still survives.
