Departing from and arriving at Stonehaven
Before departing from Stonehaven
Use Stonehaven (STN) in the departure field and check the platform for your booked direction. Keep all tickets available for inspection, including every part of a split-ticket journey.
The station record lists access from Arduthie Road, Denis Roger Lane. Match the entrance to your departure platform before setting out; the nearest entrance is not necessarily the most accessible one.
If your booking offers ticket collection at Stonehaven, the recorded machine location is west entrance. Check the collection instructions and allow time before your train; a listed machine is not confirmation that every ticket can be collected there.
When arriving at Stonehaven
Select Stonehaven (STN) as the arrival station and plan the onward journey from that station, rather than from the centre of the wider area. Check your return departure separately, particularly when the return train uses a different platform.
Stonehaven has recorded Category B2 access. Check the platform access notes for both your outward arrival and return departure before choosing your trains; a step-free route in one direction does not establish access in the other.
Compare fares and split tickets for Stonehaven
For travel between Stonehaven and Aberdeen, compare the complete price for the same trains, passengers and class. Check a through ticket against any split-ticket combination offered; a cheaper total is not guaranteed. If your plans may change, compare the flexibility of the tickets as well as the price.
What should I check when splitting this journey?
The train normally needs to call where one ticket ends and the next starts, even if you stay aboard. Check every ticket’s permitted trains, Railcard conditions and reservations. Some season and area tickets have specific exceptions.
Read the split-ticket guidance for your journey, or check refunds and amendments before booking.

Plan the coast route to Dunnottar Castle
Dunnottar Castle identifies Stonehaven as its nearest railway station. The castle’s directions describe a coastal approach from the harbour, so allow for reaching the town and continuing to the attraction rather than expecting the castle beside the platform. Use the published route and access information to decide which approach suits you.
The clifftop viewpoint and entry into the castle involve different access arrangements: reaching the castle itself requires substantial steps. Check opening information before making the onward journey, as adverse weather can affect access. Plan enough time to return to Stonehaven for your chosen train.
