Ruthrieston railway station
Former railway station in Scotland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ruthrieston railway station[1] or Ruthrieston Halt was opened in January 1856 by the GNSR and served Ruthrieston, now a suburb of Aberdeen.[2] The halt was one of several victims of the 1937 closure of stations on the Aberdeen suburban service.[3] The Deeside Railway itself eventually ran from Aberdeen (Joint) to Ballater. Ruthrieston is located in the parish of Peterculter, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
