Ballater
Extract of estate feuing map at Ballater dated 1866. Note that the proposed railway continues beyond the station site; it is clear that Col. Farquharson intended to build the line to Braemar. Just south of the station is the outline of an L-shaped building. This was Monaltrie Cottage where the Station Agent and his family lived. James Cowie was the Agent from line opening until retiral in 1907; a grand total of 40 years and six months. By 1895 the house had been demolished to make way for civic buildings.
