This junction was located north of Kittybrewster [2nd] station.
From the north there was access to (going from west to east) Kittybrewster Shed, Kittybrewster [2nd] and the Denburn Valley Line to Aberdeen station, the branch to Aberdeen Waterloo and finally Kittybrewster Yard.
The line north to Dyce was doubled in 1861.
Kittybrewster North signal box opened at the junction in 1883. This was on the east side of the junction.
The location has been massively cut back.
Kittybrewster MPD closed in 1967. Kittybrewster Goods closed to livestock in 1967.
The railway from Aberdeen to Dyce was singled in 1971. The signal box closed. Both the Aberdeen line and Aberdeen Waterloo lines were reduced to a single track and a loop retained on the Waterloo route. Oil sidings remained for a time, British Fuels who used them relocated to Craiginches Yard, and the sidings were taken out in the 1990s. The junction for the branch, which was approached from the Inverness direction, was controlled with a ground frame.
The line has been redoubled (2019) and the junction altered. The existing connection was taken out and a new connection, approached from the Aberdeen direction added to reach a headshunt.
