This was a private halt located at the overbridge and lodge at the gatehouse of Castle Grant. The overbridge is where the railway crosses the A939 north of Grantown-on-Spey
'...in acknowledgement of the great facilities given by the Earl of Seafield in the formation of the railway through his estates' [1]
[edit] Remains
Some concrete platform stumps remain along the trackbed (in various states) near the lodge.
