![King Edward station on the Macduff branch in June 1979. There were some interesting <I>additions</I> to the original wooden structure which did not quite enchance its appeal. A recent <I>drive by</I> suggests that the building may still exist. (One to check out).<br><br>[John Williamson /06/1979]](/images/18000/18906.jpg "King Edward")
![The wooden station building at King Edward (1860 - 1951) still survives in 2011, although it is not being looked after at present - so who knows for how much longer. Extensions added to the building in the 1970s have since been removed, revealing the original facade of the porch.

![Looking over the former Macduff station in May 2012. Closed in 1951 the refurbished building is now a shop specialising in watersports accessories.

![More than 60 years after closure, the old Macduff locomotive shed still stands on the hillside to the west of the former station [see image 39268], where it is now used for storage. The stone built 2-road straight shed, latterly a sub to 61A Kittybrewster, serviced locomotives between 1872 and 1951.
