Former Ballindalloch rail station sold [The Northern Scot]





Date: 23/03/2012

Moray councillors have agreed to accept an offer of over £97,000 for the former railway station at Ballindalloch.
The property, which stands on the Speyside Way long distance footpath, was leased by the council as a backpackers^ hostel until it closed recently because of a problem with the water supply.
