Newmachar railway station was a railway station in Newmachar, Aberdeenshire which is now closed. The station was later bought by the local run 'Whytes Bus Coaches' in the mid-1980s, who relocated to their current location at Mill Pond, half a mile out of Newmachar.[2][3] The station has now been converted into a house.
