Buddon railway station served the Barry Buddon Training Camp from 1910 to 1914 on the Dundee and Arbroath Railway.

History

The station opened in July 1910, although there is evidence of it being in earlier by military personnel only. To the south was Buddon Siding. The signal box, which opened in 1907, was on the westbound platform. The station closed to the public on 1 September 1914 but the military later used it in 1939, 1944 and 1956 for special purposes.[1] Nothing remains today.[2]
