A second company, the Deeside Extension Railway, was incorporated in 1857 to continue the line to Aboyne where it opened the station on 2 December 1859 as its terminus.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The line was extended to Шаблон:Rws by a third company, Aboyne and Braemar Railway, which opened on 17 October 1866 when the station ceased to be a terminus.Шаблон:Sfn

Later to be leased and then part of the Great North of Scotland Railway, the station became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923, passing on to the Scottish Region of British Railways during the nationalisation of 1948. It was then closed by the British Railways Board on 28 February 1966.Шаблон:Sfn
