The Keith & Dufftown Railway (“The Whisky Line”) is a heritage railway in Scotland, running for 11 miles from Keith Town railway station (Ordnance Survey grid reference NJ429508) to Dufftown (NJ322414) via Drummuir (NJ378442). Originally part of the former Great North of Scotland Railway line which linked Aberdeen with Elgin, the line was latterly a freight-only branch for British Rail, truncated at Dufftown.
