From the Aberdeen Evening Express:

STEAM trains could be operating in Aberdeen in the future thanks to a generous grant.

The Ferryhill Railway Heritage Trust has been given a grant of almost £300,000 to repair and renovate an old turntable and engine shed.

The £298,158 cash, which has been awarded by Historic Scotland, will be used to help fund the creation of a railway heritage centre.

Good news and it will be good to have another working turntable in Scotland.

That could be interesting, I suppose there could be a steam service from Aberdeen to Inverness, although perhaps the Kyle route would be good.
