Ballater
The wooden extension to the Ballater platform was actually built under the Great North of Scotland Railway period of leasing the Deeside Railway Company when the railway was extended under the Braemar (former Turnpike) Road. It is generally held that no train ever passed under the bridge but is it likely that 'the railway' would invest in a remodelling of the Carriage Dock and other sidings at Ballater Station, which, according to railway accounting records is what happened in 1870 and then never use it? The answer is that the extension was built by James Ross Farquharson Laird of Invercauld not by the railway company.
