Inverurie Locomotive Works

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.
