Aberdeen Ferryhill railway station was the temporary terminus of the Aberdeen Railway and the first railway station to serve the city of Aberdeen. Regular passenger service began on 1 April 1850. As the station is located some distance south of the city centre, omnibuses and luggage vans were employed to complete the journey into the city.[1] In 1853, the Deeside Railway was opened, which also used Ferryhill as a terminus.[2] In 1854, the railway was extended and a new terminus, Aberdeen Guild Street railway station, was opened on 2 August.[3] This station was located closer to the city centre, approximately where the present-day Aberdeen railway station (joint station) was later built.

The station was situated to the west of Wellington Suspension Bridge.
