Holburn Street
A cable-stayed pedestrian bridge replaced the railway bridge at this suburban station which closed in 1937 at the time of the withdrawal of the 'Subbie' services between Dyce and Culter. The advertising hoardings date from railway times but not from the original company. The Deeside Railway did, however, earn £1/14/6 for displaying nine advertisements for the medical services of Thomas H. Meikle M.D. at Cults, Culter, Park and Banchory Stations and the 5 stations on the Deeside Extension for the year ending 31 July 1865. It earned a further £1 for ads for the Northern Assurance Company for the most of the same stations in the same year. There are lots of interesting items are to be found in company account books.
