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.[1] 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.
