History

The station was opened on 1 November 1865 by the Montrose and Bervie Railway. [1] [2]

The goods yard was to the west of the line and slightly south of the station. [3] It had a loop, a goods shed and a 15 hundredweight (1,700 lb) crane. The yard was able to accommodate livestock. [4]

The station was host to a LNER camping coach in 1935 and possibly one for some of 1934, then it hosted two coaches from 1936 to 1939. [5] A camping coach was also positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1957 to 1963. [6]

The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic when the line closed to passengers on 1 October 1951. [1] The line closed for goods traffic on 23 May 1966. [7]
