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.

Scottish: from Middle English beuerage, beuerich, Old French bevrage ‘drink, liquor’, in particular ‘drink that seals a bargain’, also denoting the bargain itself. The consonant -v- was often lost between vowels in Middle and early modern English, hence variants such as Berridge . The custom of sealing a bargain with a drink was widespread in medieval society. The surname may have denoted someone to whom such a payment was customarily made. Modern Beveridge is chiefly found in Scotland (mainly in Kinross and Fife), where Black says it is pronounced ‘Berridge’ or ‘Berritch’. The main English form is Berridge .
