Milton of Crathes Station
The Milton of Crathes platform,
engine shed and other facilities
were built by the Royal Deeside
Railway Preservation Society
(RDRPS) on a greenfield site on
the formation of the lifted (and
overgrown) Deeside Line, which is
being partially relaid by RDRPS,
starting from 2003.
The handsome, wooden, Victorian
station building (below) was
transported from its former site at
Oldmeldrum, where it had survived
decades of alternative commercial
use.
It was reconstructed by RDRPS in
2012/3. Although adapted for
modern use on a preserved railway,
the building is predominantly formed
of its original materials.
Milton of Crathes is the
Headquarters of the Royal
Deeside Railway Preservation
Society (RDRPS).
