The GNoSR line ran from Keith to Dufftown. HistoryThe station had been opened by 1902[2] on the old Keith and Dufftown Railway line that had became part of the GNoSR and at grouping merged with the London and North Eastern Railway. It was not shown on later maps. It was located near the Sawmill Cottage on the northern side of the line at the eastern end of the loch.[2] The line itself has been re-opened by a preservation railway. The Aboyne Curling Club also had a private station, Aboyne Curling Pond railway station that stood beside the Loch of Aboyne on the Deeside Railway. Drummuir Curling ClubThe loch is artificial, created by the Drummuir Castle estate. The Drummuir Curling Club was formed in 1884 and joined the Royal Caledonian Curling Club in 1886 however it had left by 1922[3] and probably folded shortly after, otherwise the last record of the club was in 1911.[4] InfrastructureThe 1899 OS map shows the single short station platform that was located on a straight section of the northern or loch side of this single track section of the branch not far from Sawmill Cottage. A road overbridge stood nearby and the lane gave direct access to the loch.[5] ServicesApart from advertised events such as bonspiels the stations use would not have been listed and it did not appear on the public timetables, the station being private and the sport had a very seasonal and unpredictable requirement for train services. The site todayThe station site has a lineside hut located on it. A new station to serve the water sports centre is being considered by the Keith and Dufftown Railway preservation society. See also
