The railway station was opened on 3 July 1862 by the Formartine and Buchan Railway. To the north was the goods yard, further north was a locomotive shed and to the west was the signal box, which opened in 1883 and replaced in 1890. It was closed to passengers on 3 May 1965[2] and to freight in 1970.[3] The signal box closed in 1966 and was replaced by a ground frame. The track was subsequently removed. The site is now a school.[citation needed]
