History
The station opened on 22 June 1846 by the North British Railway. It was probably situated north of Ballencrieff Farm. There was a siding to the south which outlasted the station, being removed in 1959. The station was very short-lived, closing 15 months later on 1 November 1847.[1][2]

gollark: A big issue with this is that in these days of modern economic whatever, control of a currency also allows financial hax which governments want to be able to do.
