Ballindalloch railway station served the village of Ballindalloch, Banffshire, Scotland from 1863 to 1965 on the Strathspey Railway.

History

The station opened on 1 July 1863 by the Great North of Scotland Railway. To the north was Cragganmore distillery, which had opened because it was close to the railway. There were two goods sheds: a two-storey goods shed that connected with the distillery and the other was in the middle of the large goods yard which was to the east. The two-storey goods shed was used to store whiskey from the distillery. The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 18 October 1965.^[1]^[2] The station building and the larger goods shed survive today.^[3]
