History
The station opened as Boat of Insch on 9 September 1863 by the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway, it was renamed to Kincraig on 1 September 1871.[1]
The station was host to a LMS caravan in 1938 and 1939 and possibly 1937.[2]
The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 18 October 1965.[1] Most of the up platform has been removed but the footbridge has survived as well as the building and wooden structure on the down platform.[3]
