Clayhills Yard

To the south of the Joint Station lies the Clayhills Service Delivery Depot (left background) and associated sidings with Caley sleeper train waiting for the evening start. The name Clayhills is an old name for a district of Aberdeen which has otherwise disappeared from the map. This is a classic example of how the operational railway preserves old place names. There was indeed a small extractive industry and brick and tile-making works on this site see http://www.scottishbrickhistory.co.uk/clayhills-brick-and-tile-works-aberdeen/
