Lady's Den

One of the stocked pools along the Burn of Ebrie.

The railway crossed the Ebrie Burn here. It closed in 1979 and now the trackbed is a cycle path and farm access track.

The foreground is either the site of Auchnagatt Station or near it. The platforms were further south and 1950's mapping show buildings here.

The trackbed of the railway from Dyce to Fraserburgh which closed in 1979. It is now a footpath/cyclepath.

Some satisfying big numbers - all but 5 of the miles to Aberdeen are off road.

An overgrown platform on the Formartine and Buchan Railway.

View eastward from A948 road: ex-GNSR (Aberdeen) - Dyce (to right) - Maud - Fraserburgh/Peterhead lines. The station - somewhere in the village here - was closed 4/10/65 when passenger services to Fraserburgh ceased, but handled goods here until 28/3/66 and the line was not closed until 4/10/79.

The trackbed is used as a farm road here. The path varies throughout its length and is rough in places. Usually though it gives easy riding in a wild and empty setting.

The trackbed is used as a road here and is well surfaced. View towards Ebrie Lodge.

Auchnagatt telephone exchange is unusual in being in a very prominent location - most are hidden away.
