St Cyrus railway station served the village of St Cyrus, Aberdeenshire, Scotland from 1865 to 1951.
History
The station was opened on 1 November 1865 by the Montrose and Bervie Railway. The goods yard was to the west of the line and slightly south of the station. It had a loop, a goods shed and a crane. The yard was able to accommodate livestock. The station was host to a LNER camping coach in 1935 and possibly one for some of 1934, then it hosted two coaches from 1936 to 1939. A camping coach was also positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1957 to 1963. The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic when the line closed to passengers on 1 October 1951. The line closed for goods traffic on 23 May 1966.
