The Bus Depot is an important addition to the streetscape of Braemar, set in a prominent location on the main road through the village. Of timber framed construction it is one of the largest and most sophisticated of such structures in the village and as such it is an important example of this building type, which was a particular feature of the North East region. The building also has interesting details such as the reeded doorpiece and margin-paned glazing. The building is also evidence of the impact of improved transport links and the growth of tourism as important historical aspects of life in the area. The railway was extended to Ballater in the 1850s; initially the journey from the station to Braemar was made in horse drawn carriages. At the turn of the century an omnibus service was introduced from this building to carry passengers to Ballater Station.
