Dinnet railway station

Dinnet is located close to the River Dee in the parish of Glenmuick, Tullich And Glengairn, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

[6] The level crossing and gates stood just to the west of the stone built platform on a straight section of track with the signal box close by and a small goods yard with a small head shunt and a loading bay with a crane.

Timber was often loaded here and a link with the Monadavan Diatomite Works via a narrow gauge railway may have existed up until circa 1919.

These works from 1876 quarried diatomite or Diatomaceous earth deposited beneath the peat that was refined to produce Kieselguhr, an essential component of Dynamite.

The modified and enlarged main station building survives as office accommodation for the local Dinnet and Kinnord Estate and the platforms remain with the trackbed in use as part of the Deeside Way.
