Inverurie Locomotive Works was created in 1902 when the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNSR) moved their works from Kittybrewster, in Aberdeen about 15 miles (24 km) to Inverurie.
[1] The Great North of Scotland Railway constructed its locomotive construction and repair works on a 15-acre (6.1 ha) site at Inverurie 16 miles (26 km) north west of Aberdeen, beside Inverurie railway station and the line to Keith.
These locomotives which were 4-4-0 tender engines of GNSR classes V and F were manufactured between 1906 and 1921.
The name is carried on by the local community in the form of Inverurie Loco Works FC, a part-time Scottish senior professional football club who are members of the Highland Football League.
A building from the former locomotive works is now home to the Garioch Heritage Centre.
