Description
This shed was on the north side of the west end of Keith station. It was the shed of the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway (later Highland Railway) opening here because this was the east end of the line from Inverness where trains were handed over to the Great North of Scotland Railway to continue their journey south east to Aberdeen. The shed was approached from the east, allowing locomotives which had brought trains from the west to run to the shed.
Initially a three road shed it was reduced (roughly halved in size) on its north side. Stone from the shed was used, in 1868, to build the second shed at Blair Atholl, Blair Atholl Shed.
The turntable was on the north side of the shed buildling. It was approached from the east.
Assumed to have opened with line.
The shed closed before Keith Shed [GNSR] [2nd].
