This was the base of the Highland Railway's water tank at Portessie. The shed closed with the end of passenger services to Keith in 1915 but the turntable and water tank remained in operation. Locomotives for the Buckie fish traffic made use of these in GNoSR, LMS and BR days until the turntable was removed in 1953.
