It was named Harrods of the North after it was given Royal Warrant in 1911 and was visited by Queen Elizabeth II on its 150th anniversary.

1854 · Great North of Scotland Railway
Being one of the two smallest railways in 1923, the Great North of Scotland Railway carried its first passengers from Kittybrewster to Huntly in 1854. In the 1880s the railways were refurbished to give express services to the suburban parts in Aberdeen. There were junctions with the Highland Railway established to help connect Aberdeenshire, Banffshire and Moray counties. The railway started to deliver goods from the North Sean and from the whisky distilleries in Speyside. With the implementation of bus services and the purchase of the British Railway the Great North of Scotland Railway was discontinued.
Name Meaning
English (of Norman origin): from the Old French personal name Brice, probably Celtic (Gaulish) in origin but not firmly explained, which was Latinized as Bricius. It became popular in France through the cult of the 5th-century Saint Brice, successor of Saint Martin as Bishop of Tours, and was introduced to England and Scotland by the Normans. See also Bryson .
