Maud Railway Museum has opened its doors to the public for the final time this year.

The attraction opens for one weekend a month between April and October, and other times upon request, but has now closed for the winter.

It is located in the old railway station in Maud and is a popular stop with those using the Formartine and Buchan Way.

This year, some previously overgrown areas of the site have been cleared to reveal several of the former facilities and new signs have gone up which form a short heritage trail to interest visitors.

Although the museum is now closed until spring 2020, work continues behind the scenes as volunteers are working on plans to improve and expand the museum and surrounding railway infrastructure.
