Grantown-on-Spey (East) railway station served the town of Grantown-on-Spey, in Scotland.
It was situated to the south-east of the town, on the opposite side of the River Spey.
Restoration
In 2015 Revack Lodge Estate announced plans to develop the station site as a heritage centre. This will involve renovating the old station buildings into a craft shop, and converting an old railway carriage into a cafe. It will also feature a Highland games demonstration area.[1]
