station was a railway station in Mintlaw, Aberdeenshire. The 29 mile
long railway from Dyce to Mintlaw opened on 18 July 1861, with the
extension to Peterhead opening the following year. The line was built by
the Formartine and Buchan Railway Company, which became part of the
Great North of Scotland Railway. In 1923 the GNSR was incorporated into
the London and North Eastern Railway, which was in turn nationalised on
1 January 1948. Passenger services on the Buchan lines were withdrawn in
1965 as part of the Beeching cuts. Freight trains continued to operate
to Peterhead until 1970. The track through Maud station was subsequently
lifted.
