Had to look that one up ... that's known these days as "Broughty Ferry" I believe which is the same answer that Scotrail gave - and illustrates to me the danger of sharing someone else's quiz. But, yes, it probably is the oldest station though it has been resited (?) and like Trigger's broom I suspect that there's none of the original left - so how old really is it?
Other answers correctly given. The missing station in question 1 is Yoker - only one starting with a Y. Queens Park and Oban are correctly the other two with a unique first letter in Scotland.

4. Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Perth and Stirling.
Scotland does have eight cities now though since Dunfermline was given the status in 2022. Had Elgin's bid been successful instead then maybe the trains would have been renamed Inter8City.

5. I'll go for Tyndrum (Lower and Upper). I've been through both, though not set foot on the platforms. This was on an excellent holiday many years ago using a rover ticket and changing trains at Crianlarich between the two West Highland branches.
