@Ash Bridge -- you "pipped me at the post" (i.e. simultaneous posting) with Parkhill (first station on the line towards Fraserburgh / Peterhead). If I'm right (I may be wrong), Dyce (1st station) was on the main line, a bit before line's divergence and before Dyce station "proper" (still open).

I was aware of Dyce (1st station) after initially consulting Dewick's Atlas but couldn't find any detailed references elsewhere, therefore considered that perhaps the site of the original platform(s) on the GNoSR line were located only a short distance from the current site which would render them as not allowed according to Quiz rules. As always I'm happy to be corrected though!

IMPORTANT NOTE

Please can it be noted that the matter of the 1st station at Dyce was discussed quite a few years ago and since that date it has always been one of the examples shown in Rule 4 of this quiz.
