Background

History

The station opened on 5 April 1858 by the North British Railway. The signal box was on the platform and it opened in 1890. Opposite the platform were two loops, one handling goods traffic. In the 1940s an arson attack occurred and the station building was damaged. No repairs were ever made. A wooden structure was built shortly after to provide shelter for passengers. Due to low ticket sales, the station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 19 September 1955. The platform, as well as the signal box, was still extant in 1974.
