Scottish loco 62497 ''Glen Mallie'' . Aberdeen station?

The NBR K Class is a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotive of the North British Railway. The first batch (later LNER Class D26) was designed by Matthew Holmes in 1902 and had 6' 6" driving wheels for express passenger work. Three more batches (later LNER Classes D32/D33/D34) were designed by William P. Reid with 6' 0" driving wheels for mixed traffic work. This included perishable goods, such as fish from Mallaig and Aberdeen. They had inside cylinders and Stephenson valve gear. Later locomotives had superheaters.

 

No location or date on this photo taken from my Dads collection. However feedback has suggested this may be the north end of Aberdeen. Thanks people.
