The station was the terminus of the Formartine and Buchan Railway from Aberdeen.

Fraserburgh railway station opened on 24 April 1865 and closed to passengers on 4 October 1965.

In 1923 the GNSR was incorporated into the London and North Eastern Railway, which was in turn nationalised on 1 January 1948.

Passenger services on the Buchan lines were withdrawn in 1965 as part of the Beeching cuts.
