History

The station opened on 1 July 1863 by the Great North of Scotland Railway. To the north was Cragganmore distillery, which had opened because it was close to the railway. There were two goods sheds: a two-storey goods shed that connected with the distillery and the other was in the middle of the large goods yard which was to the east. The two-storey goods shed was used to store whisky from the distillery. The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 18 October 1965. [1] [2]
