Old photograph of a Royal Honour Guard outside the Railway Station in Ballater, Royal Deeside, Scotland. Ballater’s Old Royal Station was historically used by Royals travelling by train to nearby Balmoral Castle, before it was closed by the Beeching cuts in 1966. It remained popular with visitors to Royal Deeside until a devastating blow in May 2015 when the station was all but destroyed by fire. The rebuilt station building now houses a VisitScotland information centre, a restaurant and tearoom run by The Prince’s Foundation and a public library, as well as the Royal waiting room and carriage.
