Alford Valley Railway, Narrow-gauge heritage railway in Alford, Scotland.
The Alford Valley Railway extends for one mile between Alford village and Haughton Country Park through the green fields of Aberdeenshire.
The original railway line opened in 1859 as part of the Great North of Scotland Railway, primarily serving local granite quarries until its closure in 1965.
The railway preserves Scottish transport heritage through its museum collection and maintains traditional railway operations for educational purposes.
