Aberfeldy railway station served the village of Aberfeldy in Scotland.
History
The station was opened on 3 July 1865 by the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway when it opened the branch line from Ballinluig to Aberfeldy.
To the north west of the station was a goods yard and shed, with a 5 ton crane, able to take live stock, horse boxes and cattle vans. To the south of the line as it left the station was a small engine shed and turntable.
The station was host to a LMS caravan from 1935 to 1939. A camping coach was also positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1952 to 1963.
The station closed to freight and passengers on 3 May 1965.
The site today
The old station is now demolished, replaced by a parking area.
