The Great North of Scotland Railway operated the Moray Coast Line between Elgin and Portsoy and onwards to Aberdeen. The line closed in 1968 but the trackbed between Cullen and Portknockie is now a public footpath/cycleway. The line curved round to the left in the picture, crossing three viaducts and a single arch bridge. The last viaduct is blocked off and a house has been built on the trackbed just beyond it.
