Culter railway station was opened on 8 September 1853 by the Deeside Railway and served the town of Peterculter, locally known as Culter. After the line was taken over by the Great North of Scotland Railway, Culter became the terminus of the Aberdeen suburban service in 1894, although some trains continued to Banchory. Despite the closure of many other suburban stations in 1937, Culter remained open until 1966 as an intermediate station on the line between Aberdeen (Joint) and Ballater. The station was located in the parish of Peterculter, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
