# List of Great North of Scotland Railway stations

When, on 1 January 1923, the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNoSR) merged with other railways to become the London and North Eastern Railway, it owned 333+1⁄3 miles (536.4 km) of line. Its main line, from Aberdeen in Scotland to Elgin via Keith, served branches to Fraserburgh and Peterhead, Alford, Oldmeldrum, Macduff, Banff, Boat of Garten and Lossiemouth. The GNoSR operated two routes to Elgin, one via Moray Firth, known as the Coast line, and another via Keith and Craigelliache; these connected with the Highland Railway at Keith and Elgin for services to Inverness. Another line, used by the reigning monarch when they travelled to Balmoral Castle, connected Aberdeen with Ballater.

## Main line

The first section of Great North of Scotland's main line opened in 1854 from Kittybrewster to Huntly and was extended two years later to Keith. A through route to Inverness was formed in 1858 when was to become the Highland Railway reached the station and a junction was formed. Services ran to a terminus in Aberdeen at Waterloo from 1856 before Aberdeen joint station opened in 1867. The line was extended at the country end to Dufftown in 1862. Meanwhile, the Morayshire Railway had built a line from Rothes to Craigellachie, and subsequently linked this line to its Elgin station in 1862. This was connected to the GNoSR when the Strathspey Railway opened in 1863.
The GNoSR ran suburban services between Aberdeen and Dyce from 1887 and 1937. The old GNoSR main line west of Keith and the Coast line closed on 6 May 1968; on the same day services were withdrawn from minor intermediate stations. Currently the Aberdeen to Inverness Line uses the former Great North of Scotland Railway line as far Keith, with intermediate stations at Dyce, Inverurie, Insch, Huntly and Keith, before continuing over the former Highland Railway route to Inverness.
