Aboyne and Braemar Railway, a line of S Aberdeenshire, incorporated 5 July 1865, from the Deeside extension at Aboyne to Bridge of Gairn, on a capital of £66,000 in £10 shares, and £22,000 upon loan. That portion of it from Aboyne to Ballater, 11 miles W by S, was opened in Oct. 1866, and is a single line with the two intermediate stations of Dinnet and Cambus O'May, a short tunnel under and through the village of Aboyne, and a light iron-girder bridge of 40 feet span over Tullich Burn. Aboyne station is 408 and Ballater 670 feet above sea-level, and trains are timed to perform the journey in from 21 to 25 minutes. By act of 13 July 1876, the Deeside and the Aboyne and Braemarundertakings were amalgamated with the Great North of Scotland.
