History
The station opened on 17 May 1848 by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway. To the south was Dairsie Castle and to the north was a loading bank. A signal box was north of the southbound platform. This closed in 1965, 11 years after the station which closed on 20 September 1954.[1][2]
gollark: Yes, I agree social media is kind of problematic. I think technology, in the very general sense of "human-built tools" and whatnot instead of the weird new one of "only computer-based stuff", is a net positive, considering.
gollark: Well, yes, you can live without importing extra technological stuff for a bit, sure.
gollark: But people would probably be unhappy if they also didn't have access to stuff like... tents, nice modern clothes, medicine, GPS, all that stuff, while camping.
gollark: I don't see how sometimes doing things not involving that makes those things *bad*.
gollark: People like nature. Camping has nature.
