This was a private halt located at the overbridge and lodge at the gatehouse of Castle Grant (grid reference NJ032302). The overbridge is where the railway crosses the A939 road north of Grantown-on-Spey

'...in acknowledgement of the great facilities given by the Earl of Seafield in the formation of the railway through his estates' [1]

Some concrete platform stumps remain along the trackbed (in various states) near the lodge.
