History

The station opened as a temporary terminus on 1 December 1859 by the North British Railway. The station was situated on the south side of an unclassified road between Heugh and High Countess Park. A run-around loop and temporary platform were provided by the NBR. The station closed completely when the line was extended north on 1 February 1861.[1]
