History
The station was opened on 2 September 1878 by the North British Railway. To the west was the signal box and a siding on the reverse side served North British Creosote Works to the east. The station closed on 5 March 1890.[1] The site later became a naval base and the signal box closed in 1929. Some parts of the line embedded in concrete remain.[2]
