Fern Siding

Opened on the Forfar and Brechin Railway.

Description

This siding was located between Tannadice and Careston. It was a short siding on the north side of the line, approached from the east. It was directly west of a level crossing with Whammond's Loan, a road which has since fallen out of use. There was a railway cottage on the north side of the line and very short loading bank.

The brick built cottage remains, now in use as a house.
