History
The station opened on 5 October 1887 by the Girvan and Portpatrick Junction Railway. To the south was the goods yard, which had a goods shed, and at the south end of the northbound platform was the signal box. The station closed on 7 February 1882 but reopened nine days later on 16 February 1882. It closed again on 12 April 1886, reopened on 14 June 1886 and finally closed on 6 September 1965. The signal box closed in 1971.[1][2]
