History

The station was opened in 1902. James Craig, formerly at Dalcross railway station was appointed the first agent of the company.[3]

The station was on the Dornoch Light Railway, a branch railway which was later incorporated into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (in 1923) and the Scottish Region of British Railways in 1948.

The station closed on 13 June 1960.
